Were arranged marriages practiced in 1920's America?
Marriages were sometimes arranged in the United States in the early 20th Century. Men who moved out West wanted to have wives so they looked in newspapers for singles' ads or posted singles' ads. Women would then come to the West to meet the man and get married. This was once known as "mail order brides".
What is the bare marriage?
Bare marriage is the Chinese practice of marrying without any traditional marital benefits. It is common in the practice of arranged marriages where the couple know little about one another.
Why are some marriages arranged?
Usually tradition. In some countries and in some religions, the parents arrange a marriage for their children because parents are percieved as being wiser and better able to make a good match. Also, in some social classes it is common for parents to at least limit the choices so that their child doesn't marry "down" into a "lower" class (usually someone not as rich). It was actually a really, really common practice in the past, and the practice of marrying for love was looked upon as frivolous and selfish. Marriages were usually made for the benefit of the family, and often women were seen as belongings... passed from the ownership of the father to the ownership of the husband. Interestingly, arranged marriages last a lot longer on average than marriages made for love. There could be something positive there. :)

Which is good. 'Marriage for love' or 'arranged marriages'. What are some opinions?
As someone who is not personally subject to arranged marriage, I have to say that, of the few people I know who are in arranged marriages, there seem to be pro's and con's for both ways. Marriage for love is not a sure thing, in North America there is around 50% or higher divorce rate within two years (the vast majority of which are not arranged marriages). I also know of a few couples for whom arranged marriages coincided with love or blossomed into love afterward, so having both forms of marriage is obviously possible. There must be some redeeming qualities of arranged marriage, else why continue with the practice? The same with marriage for love. Ultimately, the choice must be made by the affianced couple, follow the old ways, or the new. One must assume that the parents involved in arranging marriages, must have the best interests of the family in mind, at the very least, so the affianced person(s) need to decide if it's in their own best interests as well, and whether their own best interests either outweigh the family interests, or complement them. I believe it would be wise to at least meet your possibly future spouse. Who knows? Maybe you can have the best of both worlds.

Should arranged marriages be permitted?
* In Western countries no, but other cultures such as East Indian to Chinese, etc., will at times still practice their old culture. It is up to the two getting married to decide whether to accept an arranged marriage or not if they are Westernized. If they live in their own country they may not have any choice. My individual opinion is no, love should rule who you marry and not someone choosing your mate.
What are the types of courtship?

In others, arranged marriages are the norm.Many of today's traditional romance and dating ideals have deep-seated roots in courtship from medieval times..
