No. Most arranged marriages I expect are between people close in age. smile
arranged marriages in some country still as custom... like in India or some province in my country...
You should look at the "free" countries. I really don't see much difference in the divorce rates between those with arranged marriages and those who freely choose their marriage partner.

Both types of marriages seem to have equal levels of unhappy marriages. Now why is this?

I think it has more to do with attitudes than with the marriages themselves.....

Happens here all the time. Girls are sold to their husbands at a very tender age for the equivalent of so many heads of cattle. As only older men can afford it she will remain his property until he dies. Only then she is free to take a husband of her choice.

But the young African girls are waking up. The tradition is dying.
not all arrange marriages are forced. this is a popular misconception.

the funny fact about marriages is both the systems could be equally good or equally bad depending upon the situation and the person. i carefully examined love marriages as well as arranged ones in my previous blogs ( iLOVE series ) and proposed a third alternative which will help people to sustain relationships.

meanwhile, self-arranged marriages seem to hold the answer, as they offer the best of both worlds and reject all the negative aspects of both the systems.
