A Love
Marriage is a union of two parties
based upon affection and a mutual attraction between
the individuals. The term is opposite to arranged
marriage and forced marriage.
It is argued that love
marriages offer more independence
and freedom as compared to arranged marriages where
the girl/boy is chosen by the parents so there is
pressure to conform to parental expectations like
producing a male heir, taking part in family rituals
and traditions, putting up with sisters-in-laws, contributing
to family expenses etc. One of the usual questions
against an arranged marriage is that how can you marry
somebody you don't know. Knowing somebody before marriage
allows partners to have better respect and understanding
for each other's needs and desires. This way they
are better adjusted in the marriage when they finally
take their wedding vows.
Not all love marriages
have happy endings. Sometimes discord arises even
in love marriages. In the west girls who are fat find
it difficult to find suitable dates. There is pressure
on the women to conform to conventional male ideas
of beauty where women have to be tall and slim with
hourglass figures. These kinds of attitudes and perspectives
have not only created the kinds of conditions which
I described above but are also responsible for women
suffering a lot of pain and rejection. Beauty contests
and the popular Barbie doll with its model of a doll
with supermodel's figure have been accused of reinforcing
this mindset. These kinds of pressures would just
increase as society gets more modern and technology
advances. Then, would women who refuse to conform
get left behind? This made me wonder for a moment
that maybe society should switch back to arranged
marriages from love marriages since this pursuit for
perfection in beauty would increase as society changes.
On the positive side all this has also led to the
feminist movements in the west. Women have come out
of the closet refusing to be mere sexual objects pandering
to male ideas of beauty.
