Not at all.

Iranians live with their parents until they get married, therefore they respect their parents' opinion a lot. However, this does NOT mean that parents make the decision for their marriages.

The traditional way that people find their mate is through some similar ways in American culture, such as blind date, and being set up with friends, relatives, and even families. Being set up by families is so common, and perhaps that is the reason of confusing it with arranged marriage. The persons spend some months to talk and being familiar with each other to make the decision.

The modern way of finding mates is through meeting at college or work place. Also, many young people make friends (boy friend and girl friend) and spent time on dating. However, this dating as friends is not accepted by religious persons.

So, Iranians have the choice to decide who is going to be their mate. Although, there might be some rare cases in rural places that have arranged marriage.
