The paper examines arranged marriages in contemporary Western Europe, specifically within Britain, France and Germany. The paper reveals that two different types of marriage systems currently co-exist globally. These are “love” marriages in the west and “arranged” marriages in many parts of Asia and Africa. Both are associated with value systems that derogate the “Other” and regard themselves as “superior” and “normal.” The paper explores how arranged marriages are currently demonised within the dominant western mass media.

The paper shows that the media reflect the persistence of arranged marriages but simultaneously distort its significance.
