These societies believe in marriage first, then given time will learn to fall in love with their spouse. There are also monetary and status issues associated with pairing up a mate. Some people marry off their pretty daughters to someone of higher reputation. By doing this, it would yield more opportunities to both involved: Not only for the married couple, but to the family of lower status. These unions are based on this multitude of factors. One would seem that this gives up a person's right to marry who they wish to be with. For all extents and purposes, this is absolutely right. However, people who are in such a society have given in to the fact that because this is the way their traditions are met, they assimilate into it, accept it, and try to live a happy life with the person they picked for him/her to spend the rest of one's natural-born life.

You might want to separate on principle, but what if he is actually a decent person? Try to keep an open mind. Give him a chance. Not all consensual marriages are happy and arranged marriages unhappy. If you are going to leave him, do it sooner rather than later! Sorry for being late to reply.

They have chosen someone for me and I am not happy about it at all which means that I will leave him someday. I don’t understand why do the parents do this to their children?
