    You’re assuming Original OP is from a western culture (well I didn’t see the original post so idk what exactly it said). In many Asian cultures, (consensual) arranged marriage is still a thing, particularly if the male side has a little bit of money (not necessarily “rich”, just own a house). There’s a lot of pressure to get married for some reason.

        There is no such thing as consensual arranged marriage.

        There is.

        Its basicially when families decide to introduce their children to each other and then pressure them to get married. It is technically consensual, although this “consent” is highly coerced due to social expectations and not truely freely given.

        My parents got married that way. We are from mainland China.

        Nor is it a thing in Asian cultures to have the woman being significantly older than the man, it’s the opposite.

        You’re correct about this one, I didn’t read the original post, so if that’s the case, that’s very unusual and probably trolling.
