Arranged marriages remind too often of forced and child marriages, as many of them occur without consent of the involved couples or one of the parties, and they can promote human trafficking, slavery and abuse.
But arranged marriages were very current over the whole world, till the 18th / 19th century, and in many countries, they are still widespread, even today.

Anyway, no kind of marriage, whether autonomous or arranged (with the full consent of the couples to be married), offers any guarantee of success.
