Young men and women need help making matches today. The family culture is failing because extended families have been broken up. So young people are often isolated and left to shift for themselves.
But forced marriage and teen marriage is just an opportunity for corruption. Because parents make matches based on what is best for themselves and not what is best for their child. Parents in places like bangladesh and thailand sell their kids off to wealthy men all the time. Its the culture.
Arranged marriage isn't necessarily forced marriage or teen marriage though, it just suggests the family are the ones organising it rather than the couple.
Yes I understand that. That is why I was particular about my terms.
The guy you replied to was talking about arranged marriages though, not forced marriages or teen marriages.
