Yes, mating within a population is random. However, it is possible for non random mating to occur within a population.

Mutation cannot occur
Sounds like a species in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
No disruptive circumstances must be present in random mating in a population for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur. Mating must happen randomly. No allele can give an advantage

What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
There is no evolution. Random mating, no immigration/emigration, or, in short, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium holds.
Assortative mating. Hardy-Weinberg condition, which are never met in the wild, posit random mating. We know that sexual selection does not tolerate random mating and female choice is a great driver of selective change in most organisms.
Non-random mating means that individuals of many species have a choice about which partners to mate with. In population genetics, allele frequencies are used to depict the amount of genetic diversity in a species. There is no current research to show nonrandom mating impacts a species genetic diversity.
