I was just watching an old romantic comedy called 'A lot like love'. When you watch these kind of movies, they give you a touch of feeling that love does exist, and once it does, no obstacle can stand between the two that would stop them from being together.
Unfortunatlly, this is far beyond reality...
You hear many stories everyday, and see them with your own eyes. Two people, madly in love, and want nothing but to start a family together, and yet they can't because of various reasons beyond their reach. Our society and culture puts a lot of bounderies that stop two people from getting together. Obstacles ranging from family name, religious sects, to things life family's choice and what suitable and what's not.
I fail to see the reason why these young people, being mature adults, can't decide on their own. It's their life after all. Parents should be there to guide and give advice, but not to force something upon their sons and daughters. I'm not saying that they have nothing to say at all, you do have cases where the whole marriage idea is indeed a big mistake, but nontheless, there are on the other hand so many others, who have done nothing wrong but to have fallen in love with someone who isnt' exactly the 'material' the parents are looking for.
Is it ever going to change?

With accumulating cultural inheritance the society and the people living in it, tend to inherit their own custom social thoughts attitudes and behaviour towards different things. It goes from generation to another. That never stops. Until it is changed. So ya, it's changable, the real question is who are those that will step up and go forward in favour of such changes...
