Historical Arranged Marriages Novels & Stories

It was a marriage for convenience, alright. I never wanted this from the very start but I was left with no choice. It was actually a promised wedding that was supposed to be between the descendants of my grandfather and his best friend Buenvenido Hernandez. Since the two were both blessed with only children and both were sons, they decided to pass the agreement to their grandchildren. When Don Buenvenido Hernandez passed away, my grandfather voided the agreement and never tried to insist on the arranged marriage, since his dear friend was gone. But when Don Gerardo Hernandez’s company got into serious financial trouble, he used that old agreement to ask for help from my grandpa. Pleased, my

"This has nothing to do with her. I want to gouge your brother's eyes out." I knew women in families like this had no say in who they got married to. It was just like the Cosa Nostra. Arranged marriages to strengthen bonds and build alliances were the norm. Most of us didn't get a say in it. I was lucky to be part of the small number that chose their husband-not that Aleksei was a fucking prize, anyway. His chuckle turned into full-blown laughter, earning disapproving stares from the guests. "That makes even more sense. If this helps, Aleksei doesn't want her."

Calvin was about to refuse but Lena immediately added, "And also, think about the woman who came with you earlier, Margot. Her health isn't good, and she can no longer bear children." Lena summoned up her courage and continued, "If you marry me, my master will give her medicine so she can have children in the future." Perhaps, she was also a bit selfish for wanting to be with this man. Although they shared no feelings and didn't understand each other, didn't marriages used to be arranged by parents and matchmakers? Many couples in historical times got married without meeting each other beforehand. She believed that they would gradually develop feelings for each other and be happy in the futu

Sophie’s words suddenly made Claire feel even more embarrassed. She stroked the hair between her temples before she hesitated as she said ambiguously, “This… Well, I don’t know if it’s considered an arranged marriage…” Sophie could not help but say, “The both of you did not know or understand each other before you got married. So, there is naturally no emotional foundation between the both of you. At the same time, the both of you only got married at your grandfather’s request. Isn’t that a typical arranged marriage? This is just like Marie Antoinette’s marriage to Louis XVI in ancient history. The both of them did not have any feelings for each other, and they only got married at Louis XVI’

She nodded. "Actually I am not interested in marriage or being in any relationship for that matter, but I have to do it for my brother because if I don't get married, he wouldn't agree to being in a relationship. I'm sure you don't want to get married too, at least not yet or get married to me for that matter because I heard from my Mom before we came here that you always rejected all your blind dates, so your Mom had to plan this" Winter quietly listened to him before finally gathering her courage to speak "I didn't say that"

I might have to do some research on that one! It seems a little bizarre. Here we go, this is where the shit comes from; I sit at my computer and read the passage aloud, "During the time when arranged marriages were custom, the betrothed couple wasn't allowed to see each other before the wedding at all. The wedding symbolized a business deal between two families (romantic, huh?), and a father would have been pleased for his daughter to marry a man from a rich, land-owning family. But he also feared that if the groom met the bride before the wedding and thought she wasn't attractive, he'd call off the wedding, casting shame onto the bride and her family. Therefore, it became tradition that the

"Wait a minute." I nodded, looking at him as he stepped to the quieter side of the room, while I shifted my gaze to the wine bottle within arm's reach. After no one was around me, I felt stressed again. I was getting married, having children, and most likely not being able to continue my college education, which was only in the process of passing three semesters. Then, my childhood friend put me in that situation. Everything was a mess.
