The Commercialism Of Arranged Marriages

By Jonathan Romero


The world is very sophisticated these days. And this is made possible because of the intelligent people working together to solve the problems of the world.

Such sophistication conquers even the areas of battling food shortage and health awareness. But it drops to an absurd end when relationship to other people becomes the issue. There are many illogical things in life. Sometimes, it's hard to think how people trust each other today and kill each other the next day.

There are norms that are already set in our society a long time ago. But there are also standards set in one's self. Men prefer to marry younger women. But with some beliefs in the community, marriage of two people with significant age gap is considered a "cradle snatchers" act for the older partner.

Arranged marriage is sometimes easier to handle for more innocent women compared to those who are already more experienced in life. The society has already a standard as to when the marrying age is still up especially for the females. But this doesn't mean that when they reach or hadv even outgrown that preferred time, walking down the aisle is already an elusive dream.

Living in a house with a younger wife is not always a guarantee of a happier marriage. Age might be a discriminatory barrier to a lot of companies but never on marriage. It's a very personal aspect and should be played smartly.

Trade and commerce has gotten into almost everything within the community. Arranged marriage is not an exception. It eventually becomes an open market for a willing man and woman as the fascinated buyer and seller.

The buying and selling course is even accompanied by a negotiator sometimes. The level of encouragement from all parties is taken to a higher level. Add-ons or promos are offered just like travel opportunities for women.

When all the parties agree, the contents of the contract take place. An instant marriage is set. But the situation is much better if the two complete strangers become good friends and eventually, lovers.
