Arranged Marriage
An arranged marriage is a marriage that is established before involving
oneself in a lengthy relationship, and often involves the arrangement of
someone else other than the person getting married. Such marriages are
common in the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia. Other groups
that practice this custom include the Unification Movement and royal
families.
An arranged marriage involves the parents of the married couple to
varying degrees:In a forced marriage, the parents choose their son's or
daughter's future spouse with no input from them. In this rare form of
arranged marriage, if the son or daughter refuses the choice, he or she
may be punished, or in rare cases, killed. In most such cases, the
marriage simply takes place anyway, overriding the bride's or
bridegroom's objections. Motivating factors for such a marriage tend to
be social or economic, i.e., the interests of the family or community
that are served by the marriage are seen as paramount, and the will of
the individual is insignificant.
