Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?

Except that “arranged marriage” is a matchmaking service in many cultures where both people need to agree to get married. And in many cultures, “arranged marriage” means both the man and the woman are forced to marry regardless of whether the man doesn’t want it or the woman doesn’t want it.

There are indeed cultures where “arranged marriages” only happen if the man consents and the woman’s consent isn’t considered.

I believe the downvotes are because of how many different meanings there are to “arranged marriage” and your comment implies that the only type of arranged marriage is the only man’s consent and no woman consent version.
