They're relatively common in some cultures today, all of whom seem to be developing countries (I know they're big in south asia, not sure about other places nowadays.)
Were they ever a thing among common people in europe? I'd be open to hearing about other places too, like the americas.
I'm mostly interested in whether industrialization has a corrosive effect on the tradition of arranged marriages. I figure in an industrial society it's more common for young adults to move away from their parents for their non agrarian careers, thus hurting the ability for the tradition of arranged marriages to stick around.
