Quoting Mommy2ZOEBETH:Will they marry after age 18? What will you do if they decide they don't want to marry who you chose?
Yes. I wouldn't marry them any younger than 18. We will come to some compromise if they are not happy with our choice.
Quoting MIA0223:
Now, is this an arranged marriege where you pick the man, no questions asked? Or it is more like you assits in finding them a husband, they choose yes or no?
For all our kids, the second way is what we will do. When they are ready to marry, we will ask around, look for a good person, they will meet, make a decision based on time spent together at our house or thiers, no "dating".
Some see this as an arranged marriage, but it's no different than using a match making service in person or online!
My marriage was set up kinda like what you intend to do. We were set up by the islamic community and community chaperoned. We married six weeks after meeting. Our 5th anniversary is in 2 months :)
This can really work...

What will be the consequences if they refuse?
I don't mean to be rude but I've answered this question a million times and do not feel like explaining again so could you please flip back a page or 2 and find the answer instead of making me type it out again? lol
what country are you in? if you're in America, what happened to freedom of choice?
Quoting Anonymous:what will you do if your daughter comes to you one day after being married several years and says she is very unhappy and hates being married to so and so? I'm just curious, no bashing and forgive me if this has already been asked. I'm not so sure I am against arranged marriages. I almost wish my parents would have picked my dh since they are older and wiser and could have looked at things from such a different perspective than a 20 yr old girl could.
if she had no other reason than she didn't like him or didn't like what he was doing then I would try to help counsel them to make their marriage work.
I think shes meaning FDLS

Are you Mormon?
Quoting squeekers:what country are you in? if you're in America, what happened to freedom of choice?
I'm in America. If you used that argument for everything then why don't you give your child cookies for dinner every night? Why can't we all go out in the nude? Freedom of choice right?
Quoting Anonymous:lol........we are American and our ways have nothing to do with culture or religious beliefs.
Quoting Anonymous:
I feel sorry for your girls! That us so sad and ridiculous! They should be able to chose their own life partner. I am so glad that we Americans do not have this ridiculous and stupid tradition! You should be ashamed of yourself! I wouldn't want to have sex and children with someone just because my parents said that's who I had to be with! I'm glad we have the freedom here to say fuck that bullshit!

Why wouldn't you want to give your daughters the choice to marry someone they're in love with.Because I want the best life for them. Many people love the person they marry even if it's arranged.
