Hintjens wrote that arranged marriages evolved from the need to safeguard against predators entering the family. He writes, “The rate of arranged marriages will correlate with social status of the pair. The higher their status, the less free choice in marriage. This seems true in all societies. Between societies, the weaker the state, the higher will be the rate of arranged marriages. This is because weak states cannot protect a family’s wealth from predators.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Why has most of the world throughout history promoted “arranged marriages” versus letting individuals find a mate on their own? Certainly, karma and the Divine can work within and around such arrangements, but arranged relationships seem “non-Divine” in denying freedom of choice (or highly restricted choice) to those joined in such a manner.
