If something goes badly wrong in an arranged marriage, is it not the responsibility of the people who arranged it to fix it?

If they pressured either of the parties into marrying, or if they knew one of the parties was untrustworthy but didn't speak up, then they do bear some moral responsibility. But how would they fix it, even if they wanted to? In societies where arranged marriage is popular, people are expected to be stoic about their disappointments. They're expected to keep up appearances no matter how unjust it is to the injured party, especially if the injured party is the wife.

I am sorry to hear that. I guess so, if it is arranged and the parents decided for it, it is their responsibility. However, the child could or could not agree to allow parents make the decision for them. Parents can make mistakes. I have had my parents make mistakes, before, especially in terms of my personal life, not because they are not good, actually, it's because they are too good to be true, and they are genuine, so they take everyone at face value, as if they were good and honest individuals like themselves.

I wouldn't know why someone would cheat either. It's just something I don't yet comprehend, and I don't think I want to comprehend. It's embarrassing to be cheated on. It's really best to be/stay single and see nobody at all.

i personally would not get married for the reason of a spouse cheating on you. I think marriages are a lot of work and it takes a loyal and committed person to do that, or should i say TWO people? Because there is always that possibility it could happen even if you are not aware of it and you feel you trust your spouse and think "He/she wouldn't do that".How do you know if he/she has ever done it in previous relationships or marriages?

I think the husband and wife are solely responsible for the marriage they created together and that is the choice they made when they first walked down the aisle and say "I do". Marriages are not a fairy tale. Both the wife AND husband make the choice TOGETHER. One of them does not make a choice,otherwise the other person is not committed with the relationship. Two people can decide to marry AND the spouse can plan to cheat later in life because they are bored of their life, or not happy being married to this person and so they take advantage of their spouse for the wrong reasons.

Arranged marriages is basically a review of male and his family when it comes to social, wealth, caste, education, status. The best male gets the bride. Why? because the daughter's family want a male who can support their daughter financially. Once the daughter (wife) leaves her family, she is on her own with her husband.

If cheating does happen, its not up to the family but up to the individuals to resolve this issue. The daughter's family will simply say: "no, he is your husband you should be with him." I don't know what the husband's family would say, I suppose they would have a bad image of their daughter in law.

Divorces are possible but it brings shame to the wife within the community. But this said, divorces are on the rise in India because of abusive (verbally and physically) husbands.

The daughter is on her own. The family does not need to interfere. This has been the tradition of India and unfortunately, it hasn't changed.

Yes

Everyone cheats in some form so it's ok.

Yes.

NO, because YOU are the one who agreed to it. So now YOU have to fix it.

You had your choice to say no. You didn't. So now you pay the price.

To me- - I would sue them for false advertisement.
