Answer:

Love emerges over time, arranged marriages might seem unfamiliar and strange to certain people, but they are actually fairly common around the world and have many individual and social benefits. The author explains that arranged marriages have many benefits to them like how arranged marriage usually has practical benefits as well. Parents will select a richer man for their daughter to marry to ensure her financial security and social standing. In many cultures, the right marriage can even raise the status of a whole family. Marriages can also be political actions, whether they further the family’s position in politics, establish political alliances for the future, or smooth over some past conflicts. Poverty sometimes necessitates an arranged marriage  when the parents can no longer afford to care for their own daughter.  Arranged marriage has many benefits to it.

Explanation: Not sure if this is correct, but this is what I wrote ! :)

The author shows that there are positive points in an arranged marriage, which justifies the naturalness of this type of marriage in some countries like India, for example.

The author's central idea is that arranged marriages are not uncommon or absurd as many Americans think.

To prove this idea, he shows that:

  • Many countries adopt this practice, in a common and normal way.
  • In some cases, it is possible for the bride and groom to talk before the wedding and decide whether they want to take the engagement forward.
  • This practice has a positive result in many cases.
  • These cases show that love between spouses is gradually cultivated and developed more coherently than in unarranged marriages.

With that, we can conclude that the author of the text wants to show that the arranged marriage is cultural and that it shows positive results in some cases, showing that it is not correct for people to judge this practice.
