Love marriage is the one which is done by choice between the boy and the girl. They usually happen over a period of time when they have shared their feelings and have come to know of each other by dating oneanother. On the other hand an arranged marriage is the one in which the parents of the boy and the girl decides that they should marry. In such cases the boy and the girl may or may not have met eachother or known each other like in case of love marriages.

A Love marriage is a marriage between two people who know each other and like each other for some reason or the other. But an arranged marriage need not involve the marrying parties. Two people who are complete strangers get married through the initiation of their parents/relatives/siblings.Whether the marriage works or not depends on the two people who get married. u can never state with surety that this or that type of marriage alone will be a success.

Love marriage! Off course. Because you will not be in problem after marriage. In arrange marriage couples are unknown to each other till marriage and finds it difficult to stay together for few months. It does not happen in love marriage. But best thing is both love and arrange marriage together.

Love marriage is where you like the person but your family does not like.
Arranged marriage is where your family likes the person but you dont like.
Love marriage separates us from our family members and kills their happiness and only 2 will be happy in that marriage.
Arranged marriage bonds all our relations together and make them happy which in turn makes us to be happy and life long support is been provided.

A love marriage is a union of two parties based upon affection and a mutual attraction between the individuals. The term opposite to arranged marriage and forced marriage especially in India and the countries near it.

In India, love marriages are sometimes called "self-arranged marriages" perhaps to avoid some of the negative opinions that are still held against young people choosing their own partners.
An arranged marriage is a marriage arranged by someone other than the persons getting married, curtailing or avoiding the process of courtship. Such marriages are not uncommon in the Middle East, parts of Africa, and Asia. Other groups that practice this custom include the Unification Movement, and royal families.

Note that the term "arranged marriage" is used even if the parents have no direct involvement in selecting the spouse. The match could be selected by a matchmaking agent, matrimonials site, or trusted third party. In many communities, priests or religious leaders as well as trusted relatives or family friends play a major role in matchmaking.

Hi Mohan,
In love marriage there is love before marriage and in arranged marriage there is love after marriage.(jokes apart)in love marriage the couple gets a pretty good time to know each other before marriage while in arranged marriage the couple comparatively gets less time. Generally arranged marriage takes place with consent and connivance and blessings of elders.
Rgds,
