Arranged marriage has only 5% of divorce rate while passionate has 50%

Living a bit dangerously there @Gamisch? Bringing up both religion and political views in just a single post.

The ending question is a valid one though. Being in a marriage under duress hardly qualifies as a successful marriage.

If the only critera for success is that the marriage doesn't end, then what even is the point? I would probably have run my life into the ground before marrying under those conditions. Maybe it's harsh, but I think I'd genuinely wouldn't want to live at all than to live a lie, if there was no other choice of course.

Yeah that was indeed on the edge. But let me clarify;

I really REALLY want men to understand that shyte like (arranged) marriage goes hand in hand with the things I've mentioned. You can't have a horse without a carriage, right? And I can testify. I've seen more men around me flee into arranged marriages than I can count on my hands AND my feet.

I've never seen Society having so much influence on dating. We are all grown ups , so imo it's rather ignorant to completely ignore such issues .
