Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by individuals other than the couple themselves, particularly by family members such as the parents. In some cultures a professional matchmaker may be used to find a spouse for a young person.

Arranged marriages have historically been prominent in many cultures. The practice remains common in many regions, notably South Asia, though in many other parts of the world, the practice has declined substantially during the 19th and 20th centuries.

There are several subcategories of arranged marriage. Forced marriages, practised in some cultures, are condemned by the United Nations. The specific sub-category of forced child marriage is especially condemned.[1] In other cultures people mostly choose their own partner.
