Well Sukuti....to my understanding, ARRANGED marriage means any marriage that took place INITIATED by the ARRANGEMENT OF MEETING of propspective man and a woman by someone else other than the prospective man and woman themselves, ex. parents, relatives, friends etc. Basically to make an ARRANGED marriage happen when first our parents or relatives or friends ARRANGES (or faciliates) the meeting of a prospective man and a woman. The function of ARRANGEMENT OF MEETING of prospective man and a woman is served at this point and has no function beyond this point. From this point on it's up to the prospective man and a woman to build relation between themselves if they continue to be interested into each other and finally get married if they decide to be committed into each other.
