There has always been a debate about love marriage and arranged marriage. Which one is better? Some people say that love marriage is better as you know the person beforehand. And some, on the other hand, think just the opposite. Even several surveys have been done on this to get a verdict from people and to know which one they support the most.
Arranged marriages are mostly dominant in India. Most of the Western countries find the concept of arranged marriage quite difficult to understand in order to build an alliance between two persons. But both of the marriages have their own pros and cons. Let’s find out.
Arranged marriage or love marriage: Which one is better?
Pros and cons of arranged marriage

They have to make decisions quickly after certain meetings.
Family interference is obvious.
You cannot share anything comfortably with your partner before the marriage.

Pros and cons of love marriage
Pros are as follows:
Love is the basis of marriage. So, when the base is strong, the marriage will be a happy bonding.

Compatibility is there between the partners.
They are both habituated to each other and feel comfortable to share anything.
Family is not involved in taking decisions.
Cons are as follows:
Sometimes, family opinion is good for a relationship. But partners in love marriage are independent. So, they are not ready to listen to any of the members.
Often, people often do the mistake of considering attraction or infatuation as love.
Primarily, you love the person only and cannot know anything about his background, environment, economic conditions, family, etc. But these things also matter in a marriage.
