There is
nothing wrong with choosing your life partner yourself. Even the Indian society
has also started accepting love marriages. At the same time, the couples should
also understand that this decision need not always come at the expense of the
happiness of your parents. Every problem and issue has a solution if thought
about properly and with a calm mind. At least you should try to explain and
convince your family before taking this extreme decision.
This is
every person's dream that his/ her wedding day is the most special and
memorable day. But how can this be your most special day if your family is not
there to share these moments with you? The person whom you choose as a life
partner will be there for you for the rest of your life but your family has
supported and stayed with you till the time you become mature enough to take
your decisions. Arya Samaj in Delhi has also shown support for love marriages
and inter-caste marriages but they do not state that love marriages is meant to
be without their parents' consent.
If you
know that you are right and can give a rational explanation to justify your
decision, then people will also understand you. The most important point is
that you get an ideal person for marriage. Arya Samaj marriages also provide a
platform to come and tie their wedding knot in a very simple and inexpensive
manner. These can be arranged marriage, love marriage, inter-caste marriage
etc. Today, the traditions have changed and seen a shift in the recent past in
India. This is the reason that Delhi has seen a huge increase in the number of
love marriages.
The modernization has shown us how to improve our thinking and
quality of life. The amount of opportunities that we see today would have been
unimaginable a decade ago. But it is our responsibility that this change should
not harm the relationships that is the foundation of our life. Hence, try to
convince your family and get your parents' consent before tying the knot.
Always remember that wedding is a very special day not only for you but your
family as well.
