This is an interesting argument about arranged marriages. There is some truth to it — the expectations are quite different. In an arranged marriage, people enter with a more cautious attitude, knowing that the relationship will be built gradually. There is no pressure of sudden love or high romantic expectations.
The family is also directly involved, doing research on the person’s character, history, and values. This provides a kind of social security, especially in societies where the family is the foundation of life. On the other hand, love marriages often begin with strong feelings, but can be challenged by not knowing the person’s innermost being.
