It depends on whether the parents and children are in a certain religion. Because a few religions have the parents choosing life partners for their children.

At the end of the day, they can suggest who they want their kids to go with, but nothing more. Their children has the right to say who they want and who they don't, as ten to one they won't like the parent's choice.

For all of you who are RELIGIOUS, please watch this movie. The ENTIRE movie. And please consider for one second that religion is created by man.

Children always believe what their parents say but what if your parents were wrong? What if everything you think you know is wrong. Please watch the movie and then if you still believe in your faith then continue to do so.

Can parents make their child be in a religion they don't want to be in?
No. Everybody, regardless of age, have rights. Human rights. Two of these rights are: - The right of choice - The right of belief The right of choice grants you the right to make life choices for yourself. The only exceptions are where law forbids you from doing so. For example the legal age to have sex, drink and smoke. Laws will only forbid worship of a certain religion if the religion is deemed unsafe or criminal (ie- if the religion encourages suicide or sacrifice). The right of belief grants you the right to choose what you believe in. This includes politics and religion. It is against the law to force someone to believe in something they either refuse to believe in or don't want to believe in. It is against the law to force someone to believe something because it is against your human rights. Parents can freely teach their child their own beliefs. But they cannot force their child to follow those beliefs without breaking the law.
