Arranged marriges mostly worked out because within the culture they excist, there was far too much to lose if they break down. But things are changing, in the Asian community anyway.
Forced marriges are almost non existant among the Sikh and Hindu communities. Assisted is the new buzz word!
To be honest none of my Asian mates have had a forced marrige. But all have married within their religion.
Too much confusion between arnaged and forced...they are two different things. Arranged are an acceptable part of life, WITH WILLING CONSENT. Forced marriges may have conscent but with huge emotional and/or physical pressure.
