Arranged Marriages [View all]

I think this is wrong. Anyone disagree?

My own objection has nothing to do with religion. I think I first formed this opinion in kindergarten. I was probably sweet on a girl and my mind worked out all the possibilities I knew of at that young age. I'm not interested in cultural excuses or anything else that denies people their own choice in this matter.

Now that I've said that, what about Eve?
And what about the Virgin Mother? That wasn't an arranged marriage, that was an arranged pregnancy.
