Most arranged marriages among Muslims in India happen due to a combination of cultural traditions, family involvement, and social structures rather than religious obligation alone. Here’s why: Cultural Influence: In India, arranged marriages are a long-standing tradition not only among Muslims but across various communities. For many Muslim families, arranging marriages within the community helps preserve cultural values, family reputation, and social ties. Family-Centric Society: Indian society places strong emphasis on family involvement in important life decisions, including marriage. Parents and elders often play a key role in finding suitable matches based on family background, social status, and religious compatibility. However, for Muslims—whether in India or globally—who prefer more autonomy in choosing their spouse while still respecting Islamic guidelines, modern platforms like Salaam Soulmate are an excellent option. It allows individuals to find like-minded, marriage-focused Muslim partners in a halal, respectful environment, with full control over their decision. salaamsoulmate website
