Should arranged marriages have a place in our Canadian Society?
I do not think arranged marriages should have a place in a Canadian Society or any society because it is wrong and unfair. One of the reasons they should not have a place in our society because your parents will most likely not take y our wishes into account on who they will make you marry.

They might take pick someone that you would be attracted to but most importantly the family has to have money. You may not even know the person you have to marry and then you are forced to live with them and make love to them, which would be scary because you are strangers to each other.
Secondly, your parents are forcing you to marry a random person, while in the meantime you might be deeply in love with madly in love with a childhood friend or someone you have grown up with. Your parents may not approve of them or their family may not have a lot of money within their family. This is very unfair and it is almost like torture to the partners, because the person that is in love with someone else would be always wishing they were with the other person and they would not be %100 committed to the other partner. It would be horrible feeling having to spend all your time with someone while you are thinking about the other person.
Lastly another reason why arranged marriages shouldn’t have a place in society is because the parents that participate in
