She'd far more likely to be a 12 year old girl

a lot of them end up secretly fucking other married men on the side so as to not dishonor their loveless marriage with their wife. So if that appeals to you, sure

I wouldn't be okay with that. I feel like arranged marriages at least imply that children are expected. That would be a massive fucking problem for me.

To clarify. A law is not a reason you shouldn't do something. Morality is the reason you shouldn't do something. A law is in place so when that morality fails there's appropriate punitive measures in place.

You shouldn't want an arranged marriage because it strips the agency of decision making from either one or both parties, not because there's some external mechanism telling you it's "Not allowed".

Just buy a mail-order bride if you want a loveless marriage.

Does TC realize that he could be arranged to marry a fat ugly troll with a rich dad? Does he think all arranged marriages are with girls that look like Daenerys Targaryen?

Its arranged both ways, the guy doesnt simply get to choose which woman he wants to marry.

There are plenty of fat ugly trolls with good hearts right here in America. OkCupid has thousands of them. Pick one.

Eh not really. I come from a culture where arranged marriages are still a thing(though its been dying out) and generally people don't get married until they're at least 20. I think Westerners have a preconceived notion that arranged marriages means the guy and girl involved have zero choice in their pick of partner or that they're forced into it but thats generally not the case. A man or a woman can still reject a prospective bride/groom, the only thing is the individual's family searches for a potential partner, whereas in the West we obviously try to find our own partners.

The child arranged marriages you're thinking of occurs in extremely rural parts of the world and really isnt indicative of the arranged marriage practices that happens in majority of the world.

as someone whose parents had an arranged marriage, trust me you don't. My parents fought every single day for most of my life. There was an incredible amount of violence, and our neighbors could hear it, and they would always drag their kids into the fight. They wouldn't divorce out of fear of stigma from their relatives. Such backwards morons. Should have gotten divorced before I was born so I wouldn't have to live this horrible life.

Some people just aren't meant to reproduce, and they get by through arranged marriages. My parents being these individuals.

I feel like life would be easier if I had no say in it. I lost a great one because of nit picking and a wandering eye. I wonder if being forced into it and feeling like there weren't any other options would have helped.
