Arranged Marriages?

Who would agree to such a thing in the 21st century? Is human nature back them to believe that children are a tool, but it have changed over time.

 

You guys are only discussing what you presume to be arranged marriage. The stereotypical arranged marriage is nothing like true arranged marriages going on in this day and age.

These days the groom and the bride get a choice, and most of them are the same age.

Talking from personal experience; visiting the countries where this goes on. Only the poorer families do the child-adult arranged marriage situation.

 

A marriage without love is not a marriage. I can see why wealthy/Royal families do it to try and keep their wealth in the family, or to keep the bloodline "clean," but I still don't agree with it.

A good example of the changing times is how Kate Middleton, a common girl, married into a Royal family and has been accepted and embraced as a Princess. I doubt that would have happened many years ago, and even if it did it would have caused ridiculous amounts of contraversy.
