UK, the problem is that 'arranged' marriage still implies free will on the part of the bride and groom - ie they have the freedom to say no if they don't wish to marry. I have Qatari friends who didn't want to marry their wives, but didn't want to disrespect their father by saying 'no'. So they went ahead and married her anyway. Most are still married, but perhaps 1 in 3 just divorced later (within a year of marriage). That way they can still say they followed their father's wishes. The ones who didn't divorce mostly just cheat on their wives to stay sane in their loveless marriage. I can only imagine what the wife is doing while all this is going on.
