Arranged Marriages

"I thought priscilla met Elvis at age 12 and that they had an arranged marriage

and very long courtship because of her age."

Negative, Priscilla was 14 when they met. There was no "arranged marriage", they were arrangements for him to see her. In actuality they didn't even have sex until they were married, in which Priscilla was 21 or 22 at the time.

A virgin is someone who has not had sexual intercourse yet.

A young women may not have wished to marry so young or to a man she did not know, but her wishes were not considered important.

Yes, it certainly does. For instance East Indian Culture is the father picking the groom to wed his daughter, but if the children are brought over or born in a Western country it appears the parents hang onto the old ways of their culture while the children are Westernized and the fight is on. I live in British Columbia, Canada and not far from where I live a young East Indian girl (in her early 20s) was being forced by her parents to marry a man in his 70s because this old man was going to provide the family with a great deal of money. The daughter told her parents that she didn't want to marry him (she was Westernized), but, her father who was extremely stern said she had no say in the matter. Of course she tried to fight back and they sent her back to India to relatives in hopes once she saw her own culture in action she would stop misbehaving (as they considered it.) While there she met a young cart-boy and they fell in love. When she returned from India her father slapped her around and disowned her and told her she was marrying this older man and that was the end of it. Some how this young woman went back to India and started up her relationship with the young man she'd fallen in love with. It enraged her parents so much that the MOTHER sent an uncle over to India to kill the young man. The two lovers were on a small motor bike going along a deserted road and the uncle was in a car (with other men) following them and purposely hit the motor bike sending the two young people flying through the air. The young man was badly injured, but the young woman was thrown clear into soft sand. Thinking the young man was dead they ignored him, but the uncle went over to the young woman and told her she had to come home and be married as their culture dictated. At that moment he called her mother on his cell phone (the mother obviously must have been somewhere in India with her relatives, but smart enough to stay clear of any wrong-doing) and he said that her daughter refused to marry the old man. The words that came out of the mother even shocked the uncle "Kill her!" With that he slit the young girl's throat. Unfortunately, the police could do nothing in Canada regarding the mother, but did charge the uncle and he had to be punished in India (and was.) A similar culture to the above is some Asian cultures. The above is just an example of what can happen when a culture is introduced to Westernized ways. Some cultures aren't much different than Western Culture and Immigrants simply want peace and a better way of life so they meld into the Western ways well and still manage to hold on to some old traditions in their culture. Then there are religious beliefs, such as Jewish people marrying another Jewish person and not weakening the bloodlines. On and on it goes.

A definition of arranged marriages is, when two people are married because their parents decided that they would. However, the people the marriage is being arranged for do get a say, they get introduced to each other weeks before, it's not a blind wedding, you get to know them before hand, and also, if one of them strongly didn't like the other person, they are not forced to get married. This is where many people are mistaken: ARRANGED MARRIAGE IS NOT THE SAME AS A FORCED MARRIAGE. I think that there are mixed feelings about whether you would love someone that was chosen for you more than if you chose them yourself. The disadvantages of arranged marriages are: you don't really know your husband/wife; you probably will take a while to get relaxed around them, but it is believed that love comes after marriage. This is because the parents choose the husband/wife on horoscopes, their background, how they were raised, etc. and they pick people who are very similar, have very similar backgrounds and who are likely to get on well. love, hope :)

Let me start with saying, there are no DIS-advantages!! Allow me to elaborate:

1) get to spend life with someone who cares just as much about you, as you do about them

2)have a dependable partner and friend no matter where you are

3)can enjoy life together without having to compensate for someone who does not share your interests

4)If you have children, they will grow up knowing how to love because there is a house full of it

5)who wants to marry someone you can't stand, anyway!

6) sex is MUCH better!

8) through thick and thin, your partner will be less likely to leave you because they want to see you happy

9)you have a healthier and more pleasant relationship, knowing that 20 years down the road he will not look like the guy in your "arranged marriage nightmare"!

10) what good is a marriage if you can't live life to the fullest! Get out there and find Mr. (or Mrs.) Right!

Her "cherry" isn't popped.

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is against arranged marriages and asks it's members not to participate in them, even in nations where they are a common part of the culture, such as India. Mormons believe that marriage is an eternal commitment - a personal decision that should not be taken lightly and that should not be done just to please parents or friends.

Historically in the United States the brides in arranged marriages were referred to as picture-brides. They were called this because the bride and groom had only seen each other in photographs prior to the marriage.

Same sex marriage is now legal in Australia.

On December 7, 2017, the Australian Parliament passed a same-sex marriage law for all states and territories. It had earlier passed through the Senate.

Well, I know you really don't want to hear this, but give her a chance. There have been countless stories and movies of people who hate their soon to be spouses, but as soon as they get to know the other, they are madly in love. But being married at 16 is very wrong if you don't want to be married. If you live in the US you have the right to make your own decisions.

Otherwise you can be immature like I would be and...

Run out screaming with a bag of things you need to survive.

Tell your parents they are stupid and go on a rant until they kick you out.

Tell the bride you hate her, that way she'll hate you too, and then you'll hate eachother together.

Good luck honey!

• Yes, in some cases where it is an arranged marriage two people can end up falling in love, but there are many who do not love their chosen one. Love can come from being partners in life through the good and bad times which can lead to a strong bond of love, while, in some cases and cultures it is mainly women who are not treated well by their chosen mate and they more like a piece of property than being loved. It depends on the couple in an arranged marriage.
