VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Edwin|DATE|1362646364|CONTENT|How can an arranged marriage not be forced to some extent if it is arranged for motives other than the free choices of the two people intimately involved? If there is a cultural pressure then it is forced, passive aggression can be as persuasive as threats of violence.

Divorce of people marrying &quot;lightly, wantonly&quot; is seen as a bad thing  and people locked into arranged marriages from which the women may not have any real prospect of escape is sometimes seen as a good thing.

For me I would much rather that people had truly free choices and that there was an easy mechanism, and cheap, for them to correct any mistaken choices.|EMAIL|aeduin@aol.com|IP-ADDRESS|92.6.68.226|MODERATIONFLAG|
