A true story
A woman yyyy wrote a letter to Al Raya news paper (local Qatari news paper) one or two months ago saying that her parents had selected a man for her to be her husband but the woman yyyy did not want to marry in this way, she wants to know the one who she will marry first and then marry him, any how the marriage took place and married from the one which her parents chosen for her, the man was good, one or two years passed and she was very passive with her husband, then her husband said see I tried my best to come close to you but you did not give chance, so they divorced, the woman yyyy became happy and resumed her new life to seek for a man to know him and marry him, at her work place she knew one man and started to speak with him and after some time they got married, the woman yyyy started crying and cursing her marriage from the man which she knew at work place, she said he is always drunk and beats her and speak to her badly (A bad man will not say bad habits which he has when getting married and this is of course one kind of cheating).
Good parents will always choose good man for their daughter and will not force her, but some girls are not a mature enough so their parents must choose for them, and I guess the success of the marriage life requires sacrifice from both husbands and wives.
Perfect & Typical Movie Story A Beautiful MIND
@Doha Knight:Bad marriage?
Refuse her parents choice just because she want to live a love story and then marry, this marriage tends in many cases to fail.
In my opinion parents should not force their daughter to marry from someone because they just want to get rid of her.
Here in Qatar the girl must be asked if she agree on the person who wants to marry her.
...don't read the Al Raya (local Qatari newspaper) unless you want apocryphal morality tales that that are better left in the dark ages along with child brides and honor killings.
moral of the story : always let your parents choose your husband. And don't be "passive" with that stranger. :)
I wont let my parents choose a husband for me, though parents knows best but i know myself more, and its me who's going to live with my husband not them.
Oh well, she could file for a divorce again.
My experience says, its better to marry a known devil than an unknown one:-/
Rest is your fate...which plays dice with you everyday of your life.
yea plenty, you dont hear about it because it brings shame to the parents. And I agree with Khokhoy, atleast it was her decision that got her into trouble not her parents.
...at least the lady has to blame herself,not somebody else
Are there stories of arranged marriages ending in failure?
Sounds like the script from a movie...Its her fault that she didnt get to know her lover better. It doesnt in any way make arranged marriages correct or ethical. How would you like it if some told you how to live your life? This is the 21st century, times change. Children today are too oppressed and they are made to feel guilty if they dont live their life the way that their parents want then to. Lets face it, they guy the parent chooses has an equal likeyhood of being a Druken Idiot I have a lot of family members with that situation. DOES NOT ONLY APPLY TO LOVE MARRIAGES. Get your head out of the gutter.
Your opinion might not always be the right opinion. Everyone has an opinion oneverything.
As they say parents knows better in most cases
Allah Bless Her !!
