Arranged marriages have been around as long as the institution of marriage itself. Countries that still do arrange marriages are actually tradition but it is wrong to arrange a marriage for necessity instead of love? But at the same time what gives the right for parents to choose who there child marries and take away the chance of happiness? So im going to talk about a balanced argument that provides why and why not parents like the Capulet’s should and shouldn’t chose who there daughter marries.
Arranged marriages are simply bad even if its tradition even in today’s society many people think that arranged marriages have a bad impact, many parents disapprove of arranged marriages for their children. Children are always being treated as property instead of little people that need to be loved and cherished. Marriages are not arranged because the relationship is strong or could become strong.

My opinion on Arranged marriages is that they are a terrible thing. One might argue that if a marriage were to be arranged, money issues would be avoided and the two families would be happy with the arrangement. However this is a flawed idea the fact is, if you begin as a parent saving for the marriage that will most likely occur for your child early, there are no money issues. Not only that, but the two families may have a disagreement then they would be bound by the arranged marriage that will soon happen between the children. Not only that, but love is an important factor in the marriage. I feel that there's somebody waiting for someone, and an arranged marriage causes you to be placed with someone that’s not right for you and would start thinking What if you fall in love with the right person, and are bound by your arranged marriage? This could cause tension, conflict, hatred,...
