It is immoral to marry for money?

In my opinion if both parties know and they agree: is not immoral.
But if one party does not know?

This is all romantic nonsense spread by pulp novels.

How could one person not know they are getting married? I guess if they were very young they might not know because they don't know how to find out. It wouldn't be fair to sell ones child just to make money for the parents, to me, unless it was a pre arranged marriage that was already discussed a long time before it happened, but still wouldn't be right to do to me.

How important is financial security offered by a partner when you want to start a family and how important is love?

 

Moreover, it's actually much less universal than it appears at first glance. I.e., it's pretty amazing what a high percentage of those "love marriages" just happen to occur between partners of comparable socioeconomic status and lifestyle expectations. The assumption that "finding your own spouse" means that you do so in a way that is blind to class, money, race, etc. and work purely on some kind of abstract romantic impulse is pretty screwy, when you stop to think about it.

Right - whether or not it's "immoral" to "marry for money," it's going to remain a fact that such is a big part of what almost everyone does, and always has been. Marriage is about family, and family requires money.

 

I think you might assume too much. People rarely think all that rationally when they are in love, regardless of how smart they are, they see their partner through rose tinted glasses. If someone loves you, they make it pretty easy for you to stab them in the back.

I don't think marrying for money is immoral at all. That only thing I find unethical is marrying under false pretenses. But other than that people should be able to marry for whatever reason they want to be married. As long as all people involved know what is going on and why.

 

Corrections are welcome because my English is weak.

If parents and child are in disagreement about the marriage, who will have to be followed?

 

If the other doesn't know of course its immoral.

They probably are looking for love and the other person would be manipulating them. How is this even debatable?

 

It is not immoral to marry for money, but it is for beauty....

 

As important as beauty or intelligence, a sense of humour, the ability to abstain from violence, etc. Most people marry someone they can live with and financial security is important - most conflict in marriages is due to financial issues after all.

 

"Divorce, an ugly word at best, but over half of us will go through it, at least once. What are the top reasons for divorce, and if you see them listed here, can it really help you? If you or a friends marriage is approaching divorce, or if it is all ready there, take a long hard look at these top reasons for divorce to see if you can pin point what the problem is, or what the problem was.

1) Infidelity – Yes, the big “I”. The number one top reason for divorce in America today. Can this reason be solved? Even I cannot answer that.


2) Poor Communication – Don’t take a spouse or marriage for granted. It needs constant work. Constant communication. Talk to each other, talk about things, anything, just talk."

 

The hottest hotties end up with well-to-do, good-looking men. Do the math.

 

And they are the first to divorce him as well and take his wealth with them!:itold:

 

But the hottest hotties can also not end up with well-to-do, good-looking men.

It goes both ways.

 

Show me where?!! The hotties always get by on their looks- you kidding me?

Hotties (male and female) always get a preference over "normal looking people".

The only time this does not apply is when Peggy Sue missed her bus to Nashville and now in stuck in Buttfuck, Tennessee.

You telling me there's no market for hotties??!

 

So, is it immoral to marry someone for their beauty? At least money lasts longer and is transferable.

 

In the realm of the entitled, money or looks gets you by.

 

So does intelligence but people rarely hold intelligence in contempt the way they do [inherited] wealth or beauty. Why do you suppose that is?

 

You are either smart of beautiful. You're never both; they're two different paths to take to achieve perfection in your trait.
