Another answer:There are various levels of "arranged". To have a marriage in which the young couple had no say in it (as is done in certain other cultures) is rare in Judaism, since the Halakha forbids it.

It is well-known that divorce rates are lower in these circumstances.Copyright © 2026 eLLeNow.com All Rights Reserved.
