can an arrange marriage ever be successful

While seemingly old-fashioned, arrange marriages are still common in many cultures today. Romeo and Juliet tells the story of how a young couple dealt with the issue. Lord Capulet, Juliet's father, is in charge of who she marries. When Paris, Juliet’s fiancé, asks to marry Juliet he says, "An she agrees, within her scope of choice/ Lies my consent and fair according voice” (1.2.18-20).
 Similar to some teens today, Juliet suffered the effects of an arranged marriage, because she wouldn't obey his father's wishes. In some cultures, arranged marriages are the way of life. In my culture, many people have had their marriages arranged by thier parents. For example; my parents had an arranged marriage.
 Scholars ask whether love and respect in marital life is greater in arranged marriages than love marriages. Many arranged marriages can end up being sad and unsuccessful as well.

ROMEO AND THE LONELY GIRL

Romeo and the lonely girl

They seemed to hit it off

Till Romeo told the lonely girl

"I must take my leave, my love"

 

It was these few words I overheard

And thought, "I would move in"

But before I could the lonely girl

Had fallen in love again

 

Oh poor Romeo

Sitting out on his own-ee-o

Oh poor Romeo

 

Romeo he had it rough

The guy you'd like to burn

But everything that Romeo had

You can bet it was well earned

For all his good looks there were scars that he took

And a lesson to be learned

Never judge lovers by a good looking covers

The lover might be spurred

 Oh poor Romeo

Sitting out on his own-ee-o

Oh poor Romeo

 

Romeo he like to put it around

He was everybody's friend

But in the end even Romeo found

On no one could he depend

 

For all his charms in someone else's arms

Lonely girl safely lay

When the train came in it had to leave again

And Romeo pulled away

Oh poor Romeo

Sitting all on his own-ee-o

Oh poor Romeo

PREDICTION OF ROMEO & JULIET

It was the first play that I have seen which is written by William Shakespeare. And I really liked it. The end was very sad because they both died but it was a happy ending too because they won their battle. The feuding families lose their children which stops the hatred between them. The lovers died but show us the strength of human love. That’s why I love this play. At the end of this play, both families put all their differences aside and end their hatred for each other. Rome and Juliet were both madly in love and didn’t feel anything for giving their life for each other. If Romeo did not die but Juliet did then Romeo would have to commit suicide, because he couldn't live without Juliet. They died but they won because their story is still alive in this world today.

love story of LAILA & MAJNU

A boy named Qais fell in love with Laila. He soon began composing poems about his love for her, mentioning her name often. His unself-conscious efforts to woo the girl caused some locals to call him Majnu (madman). When he asked for her hand in marriage, her father refused as it would be a scandal for Laila to marry someone considered mentally unbalanced. Soon after, Laila was married to another man.
When Majnu heard of her marriage, he fled the tribe camp and began wandering the surrounding desert. His family eventually gave up hope for his return and left food for him in the wilderness. He could sometimes be seen reciting poetry to himself or writing in the sand with a stick.
Laila was believed to have moved to present-day Iraq or a place northern Arabia with her husband, where she became ill and eventually died. In some versions, Laila dies of heartbreak from not being able to see her would-be lover. Majnu was later found dead in the wilderness in 688 AD, near Laila’s grave. He had carved three verses of poetry on a rock near the grave, which are the last three verses attributed to him.
Many other minor incidents happened between his madness and his death. Most of his recorded poetry was composed before his descent into madness.

“

I pass by these walls, the walls of Layla And I kiss this wall and that wall It’s not Love of the houses that has taken my heart But of the One who dwells in those houses

”

It is a tragic story of undying love much like the later Romeo & Juliet. This type of love is known as "Virgin Love", because the lovers never married or made love.

LETTER FROM RANDA TO HAL

Dear Hal!
                 I hope you will be fine. I'm fine. I'm in Pakistan. It's sometimes tough to settle in Pakistan again because Australia has more safety and opportunities than Pakistan. I'm attending a college nowadays. Whenever i go to college, i miss our moments when you and I spent our time after school when i was in Brackley. You don't need to be worried about me and my father. He was depressed a little bit when we migrated again but he is better now. I'm missing the time that i spent with your friends. It was enjoyable. Say hello to your parents from me. Ask their present condition.
                   I'm waiting for your reply. I miss you so much.
                                                                                                                                          Love  Randa
