One of my best friends is from Jordan. He's been here for years and is definitely a mixture of Islamic and American culture as well.

I watch him wrestle almost weekly between an arranged marriage and an American girl. There's definitely pluses and minuses in both situations. He's going to his brother's wedding in Jordan sometime this spring and I'll probably go over with him. I'll have to be super-subtle, but the plan is for me to sneak him my thumbs-up/thumbs-down vote when his mother introduces him to potential dates!

I don't know about Islamic arranged marriage but I had some Hindi friends when I was younger. It was social acceptable for them to get divorced if the marriage was arranged and didn't work how ever if they married for romantic love no getting out of it.

guys, no one in Lebanon gets arranged marriages anymore...very few muslims still do this, at least not arabs...I don't think there are ANY pros to arranged marriages...NONE

 

[calveless wonder]

arranged marriages are more of an Indian(jackangel) thing

Agreed.

Indians and pakis, or muslims from that area....I haven't heard of an arab get into an arranged marriage for a looong time.
