Arranged marriage refers to a marriage that is not based on voluntary union between a man and a woman, but by a third party (generally parents) who violate the principle of freedom of marriage and forcibly arrange for them, which existed in the feudal period of our country. In 1950, China promulgated the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China, which clearly stipulates that arranged, buying and selling marriages and other acts that interfere with the freedom of marriage are prohibited.
