Arranged marrage, and Russian mail-order brides

I can’t think of anything worse than spending your life with someone that you didn’t choose to merry. You would be forced to have a relationship with that person, and if you began to have true feelings for some one else, you would have to hide those feelings or your life would be at risk.

When I hear forced marriage, think of old medieval kings and queens and how people married into royalty way back then. Even though I know that it is still going on, I didn’t really think about it until I read this blog assignment.

When it comes down to it, if you life is at risk in this situation, I can see why you would choose arranged marriage. I can’t relate to this type of situation because I grew up in the great U.S of A, wear people have endless opportunities and choices. I also find it ironic that the divorce rate in the U.S. is the highest in the world.

Oh yeah and what about Russian mail-order brides? Do they really need to get out of Russia that bad? I think it’s funny that some of them are educated people that make a living in, but still would marry who ever just to move to the U.S
