Yes. I've heard of marriages being arranged here and in other countries. My husband's uncle had an arranged marriage. He lived in Staten Island NY and was a bit 'slow' in mind due to having water on his brain at birth. His father and his wife's father were friends and played a lot of card games together so one night while playing, his wife's father spoke up about how her being a 'plain' woman and having no marriage prospects would do good marrying his son. So that's how they got married. They lived to a ripe old age together but never had any children.
