What's up with pre-arranged marriage in the 21st century?

Why does this custom still exist? Where does this still exist? Is this Biblical at all? Is this because what's best for your parents is what really matters the most? Are there fewer split ups than with regular arranged marriages?What's up with pre-arranged marriage in the 21st century?
because some parents are bossy... they only want what they want... they don't care about their children's feelings





or they care too much that it causes harm.What's up with pre-arranged marriage in the 21st century?
The custom still exists in some countries. I have some Indian friends who married partners their parents chose for them. Yes, arranged marriages are less likely to end up in divorce. The reason is simple. When you marry for love you are in a state of complete stupidity that prevents you from assessing reality adequately. When your parents choose your spouse they usually take into consideration a variety of factors and try to pick the best for you. No sane parents would choose a bad catch. Parents usually believe their children deserve the best and act accordingly. They take into consideration compatibility not only between the bride and groom but also between their respective families and as a result there are no quarrels and everyone is happier. People that marry for love fall in love before they marry, people that have arranged marriages fall in love afterwards and that's why they last.
yes it does still exist in many parts of the world, india, africa, middle east and even some parts in europe. some say that pre-arranged marrages last longer and i believe that. the reason that it does exist today it's because that the idea of love is different for those parts of the world, they believe that love comes after marriage not the other way around.
To understand this practice we have to understand the heart connections and closeness between oneself and God which is intimate and personal. We trust God to act in our lives but most of the time we are not willing to accept the will of our earthly father. (I am taking the family that serves and obeys God's will)





I believe this issue comes up simply because we do not practice an intimate and personal relationship with our parents. If our parents are surrendered to God will as we are, i am sure they will make the best Godly choice for us, and even so when they are even more experienced and wiser with their walk with the Lord.





Most of the time its our impulse that drives us to think the negative.
Not biblical but traditional for all kinds of nationalities
I believe the custom does still exist in pockets threw out the world.
why so sad?





and i'm pretty sure it still exists in India
