zulaika,

Well put young lady.

Arranged marriages are like PREAPPROVED CREDIT CARD OFFERS. You just need to complete the application and confirm details.

Hooyo has selected 4 candidates for me. By process of elimination, I should find the right one.

I'm definitely not against arranged marriages "I might end up with one) since I'm not really into the dating game. Laughing laakin arranged or otherwise, any marriage can work, if you work at it.

Arranged marriages are stupid, how the hell do you marry someone you don't even know like that. You might spend the rest of your life with your spouse, you might as well get to know them before getting married.

There's something called an engagement Samatr. That is when you size each other up for suitability.

Saaxiib engagements don't last for years, at least not to my knowledge.

Samatar, there isn't a guarantee even if you know the person for a long time that the marriage would work. You'd see people who knew each other for a long period of time, before they decided to get hitched, only to end up divorced within 1-3 years.

No matter how much time you spend getting to know a person you can never know what's inside until you open it up. I hope you get my drift.


BTW: I am not advocating for arranged marriages, I'm just saying..

i'll have u known that most of the non-arranged marraiges fail or are in cumbersome because of lack of understanding one another, it ain't only arranged folks that fall into this trap u know. problem is, u really never know someone untill u live and room with them. intii hore(dating or whatever u wanna call it) been baa la'isku sheegi jidhey dee. Laughing

i agree with nabeela on this one.
