I have friends who are Afghan who have had arranged marriages so this led me to be curious to ask, why does this practice still persist into the 21st century?

Sheesh. There’s a lot of weird ideas in this thread.
I made a lot of mistakes in my teens and 20s, including but not limited to my poor choices in romantic partners.
If it was culturally appropriate, it would’ve been great to have some help.
I think there’s still a big difference between getting help when dating and getting an arranged marriage
Not really. It depends on what is meant by “arranged marriage”.
I mean, yeah, but what’s the point of calling something an arranged marriage when it’s actually just parents acting as an old school dating app
Obviously because parents behave differently to dating apps.
But then it’s still just arranged dating at best. Maybe the parents look for someone who is interested in entering a marriage in the first place, but that doesn’t make it an arranged marriage IMO.
Amazing.
Yes, language is subjective, cool that you seem to be learning that today. So no argument as to why it would actually be an arranged marriage, despite the described scenario not necessarily ending in a marriage?
Sorry mate. You don’t seem very bright. If you look back through this comment thread you’re the only one talking about dating and whatever. I said it’s subjective several comments ago.
