Default Arranged Marriages

hey guy,
Is it true that traditionally, Jewish marriages were arranged marriages? I've also heard that it's still practiced amongst the more religious Jews. Does Judaism mandate or legitimize this practice?

hey guy,
If arranged means coerced -- no. It is true that in most ancient and many existing cultures marriages were and are arranged, and the young lady (and sometimes the young man) has no say in this choice of her/his marriage partner. However, Torah law and Jewish custom have always
frowned upon this practice, even in ancient times.
