Arranged marriages
What is marriage? Marriage is a connection between a male and a female to help each other in life, work, and happiness. Also, marriage is to breed humankind. A couple would be together for the rest of their lives, so when choosing your life partner you should be very careful. In order to get married, there are different ways based on the cultures that the person grew up in. For example, Muslims countries the most common way of marriage is the arranged marriage, the western countries the most common marriage is the love marriage. Moreover, there is the forced marriage, which is the least common marriage and it occur in Asian countries especially Muslim countries, and this thing does not have to do with religion, but because of the cultures and traditions. Although many people in western countries believe love is an important value to have in marriage, love is the main reason why people choose to get married, there are other factors that should be taken into consideration such beliefs, traditions, and values. Therefore this would lead to lower divorce rate and give the couples time to know each other.
Arranged marriage occurs under the parent’s perspectives. Since the parents know their son/daughter they can easily choose the life partner for him/her. Parents grew their children based on what they believe; this plant parent would harvest it when the children grow up. However, arranged marriage does not happen until the couple agrees. They can easily see each other once before marrying, and can talk to each other
Parents know how did their children raised and what does he/she prefers so choosing the right life partner is not hard to them. Also, the male have the right to give his specification on the female that he would marry, and the female has the right agree or refuse the male.
There are many benefits of the arranged marriage for example, the male and the female has the right to see each other, and to talk about what do they like and dislike. By those two benefits the couple have the chance to know each other more.
In Saudi Arabia the arranged marriage has two main steps to get married. The first one is called “Milkah”, Milkah is when a couple be officially married but they are still do not live together. In this step the couple have the right to go out together and no one can tell them anything. For example, they can meet in the female home and sit together to talk about their future. This step does not have a specific period of time; it depends on the couple. If this step had been completed and everything between the couple flows in a good shape they proceed to the next step. The second step called “Zwaj” Which means wedding, the wedding happens after the Milkah and everything for the marriage must been set up during the Milkah period. The couple now can live together and the first thing they do is the honeymoon.
However, arranged marriage in Saudi Arabia must meet requirements such as, religion, traditions, and values. Interfaith marriages does not occur in Saudi Arabia because the Islam, which is the only religion practiced in the country, prohibits this thing. Interfaith marriages occur in the United States and have a big percentage. According to Stanley Fish a professor at Florida International University who writes in The New York Times Riley’s research showed that interfaith marriages rate in the United States is 42 percent.
That means the couples get married with different religion, nowadays couples in western countries such as America do not consider religion in marriage.

Prof Comments. Please consider it.
You must incorporate research (not just what you think). Also think how you can relate this to One Amazing Thing. Why do you think Jiang’s marriage was successful? Why do think Uma’s parents want her to marry an Indian man?
What is marriage? Marriage is a connection between a male and a female to help each other in life, work, and happiness—Is marriage just between a man and woman?. Also, marriage is to breed humankind—Aren’t there people who are married who choose to not have children or are unable to have children?. A couple would be together for the rest of their lives—are they always together for the rest of their lives?, so when choosing your life partner you should be very careful. In order to get married, there are different ways based on the cultures that the person grew up in. For example, Muslims countries the most common way of marriage is the arranged marriage, whereas in the western countries the most common marriage is the love marriage. Moreover, there is the forced marriage, which is the least common marriage and it occur in Asian countries especially Muslim countries, and this thing does not have to do with religion, but because of the cultures and traditions.—Do you need to add this? Although many people in the west believe love is an important value to have in marriage, love is not the most important factor in a marriage. Arranged marriages have lower divorce rates because the relationships are based on the parents believe, tradition, and value. Therefore couples have less to argue about.
