For the first time! Even in the Islamic way, which is described as the strictest one, you have to see the bride. It is just a must. Please correct me if I am wrong, do you see the bride before you marry or you do not at all? |

true to speak, in our area (south India) only a few of them would have a look at their would-be's before marriage..not all...it seems very orthodox but it works..at least in my experience..

You're missing my whole point. When they are kids is the best time for them to learn to form platonic friendships. When they're older, it's late for that. |

What happens if the unknown wife or husband turns out to be a horrible person? |

If the husband's horrible, than I suspect the wife's just S.O.L., at least in Islam.
If the woman's horrible, well, perhaps that's why the man's allowed up to 3 more wives...better odds for him. :lol:

As far as you are concerned, what is done is done. But will your children marry in the same way? |

dear skrej,
thanks for your comment..in Islam men and women are having equal opportunity to get separated from their spouses if they really need. It is not at all possible to lead a normal and peaceful life once the marriage becomes horrible, in Jamie's words.
but the sad truth is the percentage of divorces are more in love-marriages and less in arranged-marriages.

| I would venture to guess that the percentage of miserable arranged marriages is higher than that of love marriages. There are other social factors involved in arranged marriages that may cause a lower divorce rate, simply because the wife can't get away or has nowhere to go. It doesn't have to be because the spouses are happier. |

You see, again it becomes one of our main duties towards our kids to guide them a right path as far as their married life is concerned. In Islam there are three major duties towards our children.
They are:
No.1. Name them with a good and legitimate name.
No.2. Give them the education (good habits and traditional practices)
No.3. Guide them in their marriage (find a suitable life partner for them)

If you need to find a 'suitable life partner' for your children, all the 'education' you provide them is rather useless.

Torsten, I think you're confusing the English word "education" with the concept of child-rearing or upbringing.
"Education" means schooling (Ausbildung, in German).
The German word "Erziehung" means upbringing or child-rearing. |

The way those marriages are arranged has nothing to do with the Quran.

You only need to know how to form platonic relationships with the opposite sex, that's all.
Good luck,
