Report ON Arrange Marriage
Introduction: In an arranged marriage, the bride and groom are selected by a third party rather than by each other. It is especially common in royal families around the world. Today, arranged marriage is largely practiced in South Asia (India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka)Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia and East Asia to some extent.
As we Known, Arranged marriages are usually seen in Indian, Southeast Asian and African cultures, especially among royalty, and are usually set up by the parents or an older family member. The match could be selected by parents, a matchmaking agent, matrimonial site, or a trusted third party. In many communities, priests or religious leaders as well as relatives or family friends play a major role in matchmaking.
Process Of arrange marriage:
In an "introduction only" arranged marriage, the parents may only introduce their son or daughter to a potential spouse. From that point on, it is up to the children to manage the relationship and make a final choice. There is no set time period. This is common in the rural parts of South America and especially in India and Pakistan. The same also occurs in Japan. This type of arranged marriage is very common in Iran under the name of khastegari.
