Study the following information. It could be useful while interpreting the talk about appearance, character, and family.

A marriage of convenience (plural marriages of convenience) is a marriage contracted for reasons other than the reasons of relationship, family, or love. Instead, such a marriage is orchestrated for personal gain or some other sort of strategic purpose, such as political marriage. The phrase is a calque of French: mariage de convenance – a marriage of convention, or marriage of suitability. In the cases when it represents a fraud, it is called sham marriage.

 

Arranged marriage (also called pre-arranged marriage) is a mar­riage arranged by someone other than the couple getting wedded, curtailing or avoiding the process of courtship. Such mar­riages had deep roots in royal and aristocratic families around the world, in­cluding Europe. Today, arranged marriage is still practiced in South Asia, and the Middle East and East Asia to some extent. It should not be confused with the practice of forced marriage. Arranged marriages are usually seen in Indian, traditional European and African cultures, especially among royalty, and are usually decided by the parents or an older family member. The match could be selected by parents, a matchmaking agent, matrimonial site, or a trusted third party. In many communities, priests or religious leaders as well as relatives or family friends play a major role in matchmaking.
