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. More commonly, in cultures where parents forbid their children to date, the parents of a man and woman introduce the pair to each other; then the pair decides whether they accept each other. | There are different types of arranged marriage.
