An arranged marriage is a practice in which someone other than the couple makes the selection as to who they will marry. Such marriages have its roots in royal and aristocratic
families around the world. Today, arranged marriage is largely
practiced in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Africa, the Mid East, Asia,
etc.
Other groups that practice this custom include the Unification
Church and Hasidic Jews. Arranged marriages are usually seen in
Indian, traditional European and African cultures, especially among
royalty, and are usually decided by the parents or an older family
member. The match could be selected by parents or a match-maker, or some
other third party. Priests or religious leaders as well as relatives or family friends may play a major role in matchmaking. To my knowledge, in this day and age, this is not
something practiced in Christianity, Scientology, Jehovah's Witness.

Absolutely NO!
I remember well ..
the stories of my GREAT AUNT ..
My grandfather's sister ..
who was SOLD into an arranged marriage ..
she was always shuddering at the memories ...
and her Brother helped her ESCAPE too ..
Damnation for any who sell their Daughters, female relatives to any so-called /marriage/.
Also -- my roommate has a dog that looks just like yours. He's a really great dog, as I'm sure is yours :)
yes that's eddie & hes a good dog hes 13 but he still loves his walks....
All in all it would depend on who is setting us up in the first place, if we got along, things like that. Arranged doesn't necessarily equal forced I might add. Someone can arrange a marriage for you but if one or both parties don't mutual like each other then it's pretty much a no-go.
But yeah I guess I would if the guy was good enough. But it would primarily depend on who's setting us up in the first place. If it's anyone I'm related to, then forget it. If it's one of my friends, then seriously forget it - because I don't want to associate myself with anyone they associate themselves with.
To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing a matchmaker but I'm so far out there that I fear I may make the matchmakers head explode over not being able to find someone for me because of how I am.
But if everything fell into the place and the guy was a great match... then sure, why not? Saves me the trouble of hunting someone else down when they probably wont be as good.
If not, no way.
