Firstly I think it's wrong for someone to allow their parents chose a girl they get married to. Marriage is a life time commitment and it's not something that one should make a mistake about. Although there are those that their parents recommend a woman for and they get it right. But in scenario like this you should ask the girl some real life questions, try dating for sometime and try to find out if you both will be compatible before deciding to marry her or not. Your parents can only recommend, but it is you that have the final decision to make.
You have said it all,in olding days it was our parents who recommends us whom to get married with because your father or mother might have gone through all the necessary things that we might have needs to have done, to know if that lady is actually good for marriage,in terms of examine the girl in question and the parents and their background before they can decide to open up to their son and then women were nice and good also ready to marry and that was why it was working for both of them then.
but nowadays alot of people have given up in marriage both men and women because of what is involved in marriage nowadays and it's no longer advisable for your parents to choose a lady for their son, because our women of nowadays are not like our women of olding days,alot of things have totally gone wrong,so every man wants to make his choice of a woman and it is something that requires alot of fasting and prayers..
People have given up on righteousness all over the place. God gave the most righteous laws to the world in the Torah, the first 5 books of the Bible. Nobody follows these laws perfectly. How do we know? People have trouble in life, and then die.
The Torah points at and says "love for God and love for other people." And the Torah talks about the Messiah Who fulfilled it all in Jesus of Nazareth.
Obey the Torah non-ceremonial laws, and follow the words of Jesus.
