[quote=APAULT,258839]Back to the original point and the title of the thread. many marriages are stil ararnged, but maybe less formally in the past. I know one girl who is being forced to marry a man she totally dislikes and so far has refused to hold his hand. She said she must do it because her family want it, she cannot hurt them. She is very unhappy, but says she can divorce him as that will be eaiser (I wonder). Many marry for wealth or poistion - which may be to a Chinese or a foreigner - inthe hope of a better life. Yes poverty, or a desire to achieve better even though not in poverty is the issue. BUT WAIT. This has been true of just about every culture thathas ever existed. Marriage has always been about passing on ones genes and then economics. It is only in modern times that this strange concept of love has come to dominate. In my view, marry for any reason you like, just don't lie to you future partner, be honest and if you understand one another GO FOR IT. (Old man wants a 'trophy wife', girl wants money... or any reasons you care to think of ....it's up to them).[/quote]
