- I elaborated on forced marriages in the edit below because they were not explained or differentiated from arranged marriages, and forced marriage is NOT a type of arranged marriage:

The bride and groom in all of the above types of arranged marriages, usually do have the right to consent; if the bride or the groom or both do not have a right to consent, it is called a forced marriage. Forced marriages are not the same as arranged marriages; these forced arrangements do not have the full and free consent of both parties, and no major world religion advocates for forced marriages. Arranged marriages are commonly associated with religion; a few religions that practice this form of marriage include Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism.

- I added the edit below in because the organization of the original article wasn't very easy to follow and there were no labels to determine the types of marriages. Also there was a lot of unnecessary side facts that I didn't find relevant enough to keep.

Marriages have been categorized into four groups in scholarly studies:


 * Forced Arranged Marriage: parents or guardians select, the individuals are neither consulted nor have any say before the marriage
 * Consensual Arranged Marriage: parents or guardians select, then the individuals are consulted, who consider and consent, and each individual has the power to refuse; sometimes, the individuals meet - in family setting or privately - before engagement and marriage as in shidduch custom among Orthodox Jews
 * Self-Selected Marriage: individuals select, then parents or guardians are consulted, who consider and consent, and where parents or guardians have the power of veto
 * Autonomous Marriage: individuals select, the parents or guardians are neither consulted nor have any say before the marriage

Gary Lee and Lorene Stone suggest that most adult marriages in recent modern history are somewhere on the scale between arranged and autonomous marriage. Similarly, Broude and Greene, after studying 142 cultures worldwide, have reported that 130 cultures have elements of arranged marriage.

Extreme examples of forced arranged marriage have been observed in some societies, particularly in child marriages of girls below age 12. Illustrations include vani which is currently seen in some tribal / rural parts of Pakistan, and Shim-pua marriage in Taiwan before the 1970s (Tongyangxi in China).

- I did the same type of edit above to the types of arranged marriages as well. I simplified the information and added more detail how arranged marriage is typically religiously affiliated:

Types
There are many kinds of arranged marriages, some of these are:


 * Arranged exogamous marriage: is one where a third party finds and selects the bride and groom irrespective of their social, economic and cultural group.
 * Arranged endogamous marriage: is one where a third party finds and selects the bride and groom from a particular social, economic and cultural group.
 * Consanguineous marriage: is a type of arranged endogamous marriage. It is one where the bride and groom share a grandparent or near ancestor. Examples of these include first cousin marriages, uncle-niece marriages, second cousin marriages, and so on. The most common consanguineous marriages are first cousin marriages, followed by second cousin and uncle-niece marriages. Between 25 and 40% of all marriages in parts of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are first cousin marriages; while overall consanguineous arranged marriages exceed 65 to 80% in various regions of North Africa and Central Asia.

The bride and groom in all of the above types of arranged marriages, usually do have the right to consent; if the bride or the groom or both do not have a right to consent, it is called a forced marriage. Forced marriages are not the same as arranged marriages; these forced arrangements do not have the full and free consent of both parties, and no major world religion advocates for forced marriages. Arranged marriages are commonly associated with religion; a few religions that practice this form of marriage include Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism. - I added this information below in order to offer how successful these marriages can be, which may exhibit that there is greater love/respect in arranged marriages:

When it comes to divorce rates, arranged marital life does have a low percent of 6% globally, meaning that there is some sort of success in these marriages, whether it is emotional, financial, social, etc. Comparatively, about 40-50% of all other marriages end in divorce.
