arranged marriage

a marriage planned and contracted by the parents or other relatives of the partners or by significant figures (e.g., elders) in the partners’ culture or social group. In cultures in which arranged marriages are the norm and in contrast to the concept of the “love match,” marriage is typically seen as the union of two kinship groups and not merely of two individuals.
