As a result of interrational migration (see Castles and Miller, 2003) both systems new co-exist within Westem Europe and North America. The modern world therefore is characterised ty the co-existence of two bread types of marriage systemss.
Not only are arranged marriages typical amongst around half the world's population, they will beecne mere pervasive in the future since they predominate in countries with high rates of population growth (see United Nations, 2001a). Many of these countries are predominantly Moslem or contain sizeable Moslem minorities. They are pervasive in China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, the transUral parts of Russia and Nigeria.
Arranged marriages so defined remain typical for around half the world's population. An arranged marriage is one were parents (rather than prospective spouses themselves) choose marital partners for their children (see Penn and Lantert, 2009). However, this teleology is contradicted by the fact that arranged marriages remain the norm in many parts of the world, particularly in Asia, North Africa and the Middle East (see Myers et al. Giddens (19), Bauman (2003) and Evans (2003) have argued that relationships premised on notions of romantic love and mutual emotional support have come to typify the "late modern world." Such ideas represent an extension of earlier convergence theory with its emphasis on the spread of "modern" values such as love, romance and independene (see Kerr, 1960 Inkeles, 1969 and Rudelson, 1997). Many Westem sociologists argue that modernization has involved an expansion of individualism and autonomy. It also provides systematic empirical data on the prevalence of arranged marriages in these same countries.ĪRRANGED MARRIAGES IN A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE This article examines how arranged marriages are covered in the media, in these three European countries. As a result of international migration to Western Europe, both systems row co-exist in countries such as Britain, France and Gemany. These are dominant in many parts of Asia and Africa. The second involves "arranged" marriages. The first are the "love" marriages that dominate Western nations such as the United States and these in Europe. There are broadly two main types of marriage systems globally.
