parents role in marriage arrangements Hello everybody, hope you would help me correct this essay, thank you very much. Social occasions costumes, like wedding ceremony and engagement arrangements, varies from one society to another according to its traditions and folklore. In some countries, people arrange for their marriage by themselves, they choose their partners according to their preferences and perspectives. In this case, everyone has the right to choose the perfect partner who offers him satisfaction without involving his parents in his decision-making. In other countries, people arrange for their marriage according to their parents directives. Anyway, in most societies, both kind of marriage are existing, but in different proportions, because of the dissimilarity between families in their relationships with their kids, and the differences between kids in depending on their parents. However,we have to question first, what is meant by "marriages are arranged by the parents" Does it mean, parents should be consulted and involved in partner choosing, regarding their son or daughter preferences and agreement? Or they choose the partner regardless their son or daughter opinion? However, I think parents should have a role in marriage arraignment, by approving their son decision, or recommending him not to go on. But the essential role belongs to the son. This way, people would benefits from their parent's experiences, as they are more mature and grown, and then make their own decision. In any case, no one has the right to compel another to marry someone, because it would be in favour of no one.
