Arranged Marriage in India

After I watched a video, Arranged Marriage Is Not Forced Marriage, on The CNN Freedom Project, I think culture of India has change from days to days, but it is depend on family situations. Some normal families which be able to send their children to university, they participated in society, so they understand how important of freedom; they are not forced their children to marriage to person who they don’t prefer. Parents just arranged marriage, but the last decision is depend on themselves. For example, Priyank and Aditya Anand were not a love marriage. At beginning, their parents celebrated a party for them to recognize each other. Then, the parents said that just understand each other first before both of you decide to marry or not.  In this case, I think sometimes, arranged marriage is not a bad way for some people who are hard to find their lover or their lover is not as good as what they expected. Thus, why do not they accept arranged marriage? However, most of poor Indian families, they carry out too much on their custom and culture without considering about human right.  For instance, Meena had been forced to marry to a black man, who she never meet, by her father and grandfather when she was only 14 years old. They threatened her that if she does not marry him, they will poisoned themselves. At that time, she did not know what marriage really means and what happen after marriage. After 2 weeks, she escaped and moved to live with her aunt, but her father always call and ask her to be back to live with her husband. He does not care how hard and how hurt that Meena receive from that family. Only one thing that he cares is his fame, not his daughter life. I know each country has their own culture I cannot judge that their culture is right or wrong, but they should consider about their culture because some are unethical.
