What are the benefits of arranged marriages?


The corona virus will not go away quickly.
Especially during this period it is important to remember.


  1. Arranged marriages DOES NOT mean there will be no love in it. 3 of my cousin sisters' marriages were ARRANGED & they're all happily in love with their husbands.
  2. Support from families of both parties.
  3. Familial ties & relations are maintained.
  4. Can depend on both sides of the family in case of some urgency/emergency & you'll be helped both financially & physically.
  5. Festivals & celebrations are celebrated with joy & happiness from both sides of the family.
  6. You'll be welcomed at all times into both family homes & they shall see to it that you're respected to say the least.
  7. If both of you fall sick, your families can help you with YOUR FOOD habits & even if you aren't, you can still ask your mom/MIL to cook your favorite home cooked food you've loved as a child.
  8. Help during child-rearing is a major benefit if the marriage is arranged. Your children will follow in your footsteps & they shall benefit from the family ties to their grandparents & all elders. They can be relied upon for advice & help.
  9. Tolerance on both sides of the family if you commit a mistake. You will be scolded, sure, but you'll be taught to do the right thing. That's how people will grow.
  10. You'll be taught a sense of purpose, responsibility & goal to strive towards for your community. You shall help your community & see the people in your community as your own brothers & sisters.
  11. You can obtain the counsel of elders from both the parties in the marriage & from the elders they will introduce you to in the future. No human being is all-knowledgable, everyone needs advice in small things in life. You'll develop a sense of respect for your parents, in-laws & elders.

I'm sure there are lots more reasons, but I just went off the top of my head.
