In most jain house, there is no love among husband wife still parents force to do arrange marriage. Why?
In Jainism, the tradition of arranged marriage is rooted in cultural and social practices rather than direct religious doctrine. Jain teachings emphasize ahimsa (non-violence), truthfulness, self-discipline, and right conduct, but do not explicitly mandate arranged marriages or address romantic love in marriage.
Arranged marriages in Jain families often stem from the desire to preserve religious values, maintain community ties, and ensure compatibility in terms of beliefs, dietary practices (such as strict vegetarianism), and lifestyle. Parents may feel responsible for ensuring their children marry within the Jain community, which helps uphold religious practices and traditions.
While love and emotional connection are important for a harmonious marriage, traditional families sometimes prioritize social stability, shared values, and long-term compatibility over romantic love. Jain philosophy encourages mutual respect, compassion, and understanding between husband and wife, which can develop and deepen over time. However, the practice of arranged marriage is more a reflection of cultural norms within Jain society rather than a direct religious requirement.
