I would not stick with an arranged marriage. I know going against my family would be hard and I would not want to hurt them, but it is my life and I would want to be happy and not spend the rest of my life with someone who did not make me happy and be miserable all the time. Even though my family would probably be hurt that I did not obey them, they should understand that I would just want to be happy.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't stick with the arranged marriage because I would know what I want for myself not my family. Even though disobeying them will hurt them I feel that they will know where I am coming from by doing this.
