- mschuster91 7y ago> There's nothing unethical about it. In many countries, the husband has a legal right to demand sex from his wife and rape in a marriage is not a crime either - in fact, even "civilized" countries such as Germany had it until recently, it took us Germans until 1998 to finally make marital rape a crime. One of the politicians in favor of keeping it legal actually ended up being our current Interior Minister but ah well, I digress... point is, the line between arranged and outright forced marriage is thin, very thin.
- deepakkarki 7y agoBut it has nothing to do with arranged marriages. I know Indians in the US who have gotten into an arranged marriage, and obviously the local rules apply. OTOH if marital rape in not a crime in some country, it might as well be committed whether or not it was an arranged marriage.
- awaythrowwwww 7y agoYes, and from experience when South Asian people (especially women) get to experience this free-agency dating thing we have in Europe and America they suddenly become very reluctant to switch back to their arranged spouse. Strange how these things go.
