No way!! This is so wrong, and totally unfair to a young adult. Who is to say, that at age 4 or 6, that this girl and boy will be happy with each other at age 21? Nobody can predict the future - nobody ... relationships are "grown" not "planned". _____________ I have not had success finding hard data, but my guess is that planned and arranged marriages result in fewer break-ups and divorces. I don't think for a moment that the western world will convert to these approaches, however. Mature relationships of love and commitment result from hard work and cooperation between 2 people who are committed to make it work. It is not necessary that such a relationship have its origin in the power of hormones and infatuation. Marriage as a legal contract originally had to do with equitable distribution of wealth and resources, and little if anything about love. It may have been easier to distinguish among love, lust and infatuation in those days than it is in the modern west.

No, parents should not choose a spouse for their children. This is important that you don't choose a spouse for your children as they will need to learn how to choose a spouse on their own. Your children will be happier with the spouse they choose than they are if you choose their spouses for them! Plus the ability to choose a spouse will need to be learned by your children as it will greatly affect their emotional and financial well-being.

That depends on your culture and your own beliefs. This practice is still widely accepted in some countries and religions. In others, it is believed that the children should make their own decsions upon choosing partner.

Ultimately, it's up to you on what you believe, what religion you are, and if your parents believe differently than you- are you willing to disrespect them for your own beliefs.

No I don't think parents should decide who their children should marry or date. It's the child's decision and feelings. I say if you really love that person then it shouldn't matter
