You set your own future!
Well, this is an interesting topic. Arrange marriage is a common topic in Malaysian culture especially in Indian and Malays. Arrange marriage means that your family is picking your own significant other. The issue here is, are you willing to start a life with someone that you barely knew? There are two different timeline here, if you asked a modern people, for sure that they totally disagree about arrange marriage, they would like to life with people that they love, at least they know about the person that they are going to live with. But, not all modern people disagree about arrange marriage, some of them just accept it since they grew with the culture. For example, all the family members were married by arrangement. So, from there, they developed a mind set where they don’t have to worry about finding their significant other since the culture is working for his/ her family.
If you ask me, I kind of in between with this topic. But hey, don’t get me wrong, I still want to get married ok. Its just the arrange marriage culture wasn’t really there in my family. My mom and my dad were lovers, but my older sister was not. Few of my older cousins happen to pick their own life partner, and there were some that chose by their family. And they all live happily until today, so I have a choice and I know whatever I do, my family will always there to support me.
