<p>^ I am glad you shared that point of view. The problem is that westerners misunderstand arranged marriage quite often, and easterners can limit the options for the son/daughter by not letting them get together with someone they didn’t explicitly find themselves. Ideally the standard in both cultures would be that whether parents or their sons/daughters find their future spouses, ultimately compatibility and happy married life is what one must compromise enough to arrive at.</p>
