Arranged marriage

An arranged marriage is when two people decide to get married but their parents or another grownup help them choose whom they will marry. The parents or grownups usually know what’s best for their child and want them to have a happy life. So, they ask for help from their friends, family, or a matchmaker to find a suitable match for their son or daughter.

The bride and groom don’t get to choose who they marry, but they get to decide if they want to go through with the wedding or not. Before the wedding, the families of the bride and groom will get to know each other better and make sure their values, beliefs, and lifestyles match. They want to make sure that the bride and groom can live happily together after they get married.

Arranged marriages are still common in some cultures, especially in South Asia, where families believe in arranged marriages as a way to preserve their traditions and culture. Even though the bride and groom don’t get to choose who they are going to marry, many arranged marriages have turned out to be happy and successful.
