I agree... Men and women should have the right to choose whom to marry. It's not easy to live a lifetime with the person you did not love nor liked at all. There are just so many compromising situations to be encountered in the future as a couple and to sacrifice all of these for the person you don't love is a nightmare!

Although on a second thought, this kind of arrangement has worked for most of the Muslim people and even in India for so many years now but the being exposed to muliticultural environment has changed the children of this generation...And so it goes!
