	nona the brit  +  354008 Sun, 22 Apr 07 10:39 AM An arranged marriage is arranged by the parents (normally) although other people may also be involved. It isn't common in western countries as it is not part of our culture/tradition. Of course, people from all over the world live in the USA, so they may still practise their own traditions, which might include arranged marriages. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
