No.
Can I just ask, you say yes but then say on the condition that you can agree to the choice etc. etc. - is that not exactly what an arranged marriage isn't?

an arranged marriage is when your parents find someone for you and you marry them, what your talking about is a forced marriage

But in the majority of cases they seem to be part-and-parcel of the same thing.
Why not choose for yourself if you want the choice anyway? I just don't get the point...

Seems ridiculous to me but each to their own.
Bs when you say looks don't matter
An arranged marriage . . . ha. I'm not that desperate for a relationship where I have to resort to someone else's matchmaking. An arranged marriage would mean admitting that I am not able to find someone on my own and that I'm completely out of options. And then there's the question of whether I really want to get married :P
Besides, I think it's pretty obvious that the option of an 'arranged marriage' is seen as a viable option to only a small demographic of the UK population. The rest would be thinking, What on Earth are you on about??

I would; If my parents found someone for me to marry and i agreed with them then I would marry them. Luckily my parents would never make me marry someone I don't want to or someone from back home.
If i was to get married then what I look for in a guy, my parents do to; Most importantly religion (Islam) and then education. Looks don't bother me tbh. If i found someone that i want to marry them and im 90% sure they would say yes.
Wby guys, if your parents found someone for you, what would you do/say?

Well tbh when it comes to the time I'd be open to it. Like if the interest is mutual with the guy and I'd need to get to know them for a bit before going into something drastic.
I come from an asian christian family so likewise they'd want someone from the same culture and religion. And my parents would never make me marry someone i don't like, they've told me that if I end up liking someone in the future just come and tell them and they'll do the rest
But in a way I'd rather prefer I find someone on my own but if I don't it's in the hands of my parents i guess, seeing as us asians have some sort of expiry date in terms of marriage

Not intentionally, they just have priorities which are too sensible.
It would be a nerdy, pretty girl, from a compatible background who would keep me in check, in the most ball-busting obnoxious way possible.

What do you mean keep you in check and why would that be a bad thing?

My mama would have her on speed-dial and every evening it would be, 'Did he eat all his vegetables? How are things in the bedroom? Is he being a good husband?'
