They have been used by many ethnic groups (Jewish, Middle Eastern, Indian, etc.) but I'm curious if you think that it could be effective in the U.S...any thoughts welcome

I'd reject it for myself, because I want a relationship based on love, but if people want to create marriage (or anything in life) with a contract and write up certain obligations from both parties, then they have the freedom to do so.
But why would anyone want an arranged marriage? Most of them were designed to control the flow of family wealth. Why marry someone for the long haul that you probably haven't gotten to know well? It seems like a recipe for disaster, unless you conduct it like a business relationship. But where is the fun in that?

Heck no! A marriage done out of love doesn't even work or last here so how could an arrange marriage work or last. There's no way I'd want to be bothered with someone I don't even know or love.

I'm against arranged marriages and I dont think they would or even should be effective in the U.S

Divorce rate is minimum in arranged marriage.
The thrill is great - just like an adventure - conquer the unknown.
