like it or not women and men aren't equal and probably never will be totally equal. not saying i agree with it or that its right but it is true, its just common mentality.

anyways as for arranged marriages it kinda defeats the whole -purpose of marrying for love in Gods home and all that jazz u know. from wot i gather its like a trade u know, a dowry or whatever just seems kinda wierd to me, ill give u my daughters hand in marriage for this this this and this? im not saying some of them aren't happy together but the main reason y theres hardly any divorces in arranged marriages is because its so hard for the woman to get one or she is scared of leaving.
