If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Note that I didn't say "arranged", I said "forced".

My question is, should arranged marriages be legal before a person can legally make their own decisions under law?  To me, that seems to be the exact same thing as a forced marriage, legally-speaking.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Arranged marriages for underage girls is forced marriage. There is a process for consensual arranged  marriages, and that isn't it.
