as opposed to forced marriage
Supporters of the practice say it leads to fewer [[divorce]]s than the "love match" common in America (see [[divorce rate]]).

There are different types of arranged marriage. In some cases, one or both of the spouses have no choice (see [[forced marriage]]). Often a girl is sold into virtual slavery in this way.
