Arranged marriages are not acceptable in the UK.

Correct Answer: False

False. Arranged marriages are perfectly acceptable and lawful in the UK. An arranged marriage occurs when a family or third party helps to choose a potential spouse, but both individuals freely consent to the marriage.

What is not acceptable — and is a criminal offence — is a forced marriage, in which one or both parties are compelled to marry against their will. The distinction between arranged and forced marriage is an important aspect of UK equality law.
