A love marriage and Arranged marriage


Arranged marriage
Arranged marriage (also called pre-arranged marriage) is a marriage arranged by someone other than the couple getting wedded, curtailing or avoiding the process of courtship. Such marriages had deep roots in royal and aristocratic families around the world, including Europe. Today, arranged marriage is still practiced in South Asia,  and the Middle East and East Asia to some extent. Other groups that practice this custom include the Unification Church. It should not be confused with the practice of forced marriage. 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, 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 in finding life partner.



Love marriage

A love marriage is a union of two individuals based upon mutual love, affection, commitment and attraction. While the term has little discrete meaning in the theWestern world, where most marriages are considered to be 'based in love,' the term has meaning elsewhere to indicate a concept of marriage which differs from the norms of arranged marriage and forced marriage.
The term has found usage in South Asia and Middle-Eastern countries which have strong traditional arranged marriage systems where the family of the woman, the man, or of both, arrange the marriage for the individuals. Normally these kind of marriages do not involve any consideration to the couple's feelings or wishes and are seen as a mere form of social transaction and to keep (or reach) a certain social status.
Depending on the culture, love marriages may be unpopular
