A Demand For Grooms
In the United Arab Emirates, arranged marriages are a common practice and are sometimes seen as an indication of a reliable merging of families and an eternal bond of love. This may seem unusual to Western culture, as it is sometimes viewed as oppression or cruelty.
To give you an idea, fathers often post advertisements in newspapers like this one to arrange a marriage between their children and a wealthy family. It is unknown whether these marriages will be successful or not. Still, according to The National News website, the success rate of arranged marriages in the UAE is higher than average.
