Generally speaking, in Qatar we have what's called a "suggested marriages", which is commonly mistaken for an arranged marriage.
In a suggested marriage, when the Groom expresses an interest in marriage usually the female family members start dropping in names and making suggestions...friends, colleagues, what not, and if someone sparks an interest then a meeting is arranged "mostly by the groom's mother". If they click Then an engagement takes place shortly after....If not then more meetings take place until both the bride and the Groom feel like they have met the one.
I personally married for love, but I consider my marriage one of the oddities, just like I know that there are arranged marriages in Qatar but they r oddities now a day as well.
