What would you do if you found out you were in an arranged marriage?

I know some cultures still do this. Where I am from they just don't happen. that I am aware of at least... so how would you react?

I think that if you were raised in this environment you would have far less objections about it

@mljenkins: Probably true it would be what you see around you so I suppose it would be normal.

I would be curious to get to know my partner. The arrangers don't pick someone that you're going to hate being with. When you fall in love, your hormones can blind you to your partner's faults, so arguably you're not a good person to choose whom your marriage partner should be. Somebody with a cool head that knows you and can analyze potential partners for you would be a better person to choose whom you're going to marry. That said, I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose for myself whom I will marry if I get married.

First I would be angry that I was too blind or stupid to realize it.
And then acknowledge I was happy with the outcomes.

@TwiddlerOfThumbs: Happy? why is that? it seems like a 180 flip
@silver1sil: I don't think there was no 180 flip in my response. Being angry with me and loving who I am with are not related.

If I only now found out, it seems that I would have thought I was in love.

Maybe you should explain, how would I not know the difference between falling in love with someone, or being forced to marry someone?

Nothing. My mom wouldn't choose a tea-slurper or open mouth-chewer for me. I'm so sorry if yours would.
