Option 1. Arranged marriages have greater long-term stability. Aligning families, shared incentives, and social support outlast fickle love.
Arranged unions forge alliances, tie families to the state, and cement loyalty; love may burn bright, but stability comes from duty and shared aims.
Freedom and consent belong to everyone. Real long-term happiness comes from mutual respect and choice, not forced family ties.
Stability stitched by contracts isn’t love; it’s a well-dressed cage. True happiness blooms when the heart is free to choose, not when families draw the map.
