It is said that compromise is a factor that decides whether the marriage would work out or not. In case of love marriage, people might expect more from their partner, largely because they have fallen in love before marriage. This leads to lesser compromises, as the person expects more from his/her partner. On the other hand, compromise and adjustments form the foundation of arranged marriage, largely because the married couple does not have any preconceived notions or expectations from one another. The compromise factor might work wonders in case of most of the arranged marriages, while in love marriages, that might prove to be yet another cause for altercation. Due to this factor, people consider an arranged marriage as long lasting and better than a love marriage.
Along with time, the Indian society has witnessed substantial changes in the social and marital set up. Though most of the parents still remain staunch about their kind of arrange marriage, a wave of change has been brought by few parents, who whole-heartedly welcome the choice of their kids in their family. Unlike the West, where every kind of marriage is a love marriage, Indian society on a verge of transformation has three different kinds of marriages — the arrange marriage, which is perfectly arranged by the family of the bride and the groom; the love marriage, solemnized by the choice of the life partners themselves and the third- love-cum-arranged marriage where the life partner is selected by the boy or girl himself/herself but rest of the formalities of arranging it is done by their parents.
From the very beginning in the country it has almost been an understood fact that parents have to find a suitable bride and groom for their son and daughter and solemnize the entire marriage according to their wishes. As the custom of child marriage was very prevalent in the Indian society earlier and the children were married much before they were aware of the feeling of love and attraction, it is very clear that why parents were the one to find a perfect match for their kids. Though the trend of child marriage have gradually faded from the Indian society, the fashion of arranged marriage is still very much prevalent due to its deep- rooted existence in the Indian culture
