Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?
richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 1 month agoI understand in theory the benefits. But I practice for me It would be a nightmare. Being unable to get away from toxic family members would be horrible. And being the outsider… I’m dating you, not your family. I find the idea of “entering a new family” worrisome and distasteful.

I don’t know. There’s an even chance my parents would have been better at picking my husband than I was.

Eh. There’s a BIG difference between you making a questionable decision on your own and someone else forcing you into their questionable decision

You do know that arranged marriage and forced marriage are different things, right?

You do know the two overlap rather consistently from the context of the females’ choice in most cultures where it persists, right?
