In my home country of india the concept of 'arranged wedding' has been happening for centuries and still happening mostly. Though certain people dont like the idea they end up doing it anyways.
Is it common in the west for parents to make a match and choose the bride or groom? (ofcourse the concerned peoples consent is asked )
common definition of arranged marriage is that the parents through their friends and relatives network find a guy or a girl for their son or daughter who their family thinks would be great to together and ask for the concerned peoples interest and things works out wedding happens.

In the West, society favors freedom of choice of the two involved in the "courtship." Arranged marriages are frowned upon in the West because they are looked at as being disadvantageous to women. People marry because of love these days and not because of the "stock" of the person or the cast that they are from.
However, I find nothing wrong with arranged marriages. People can spend a life time getting to know each other and falling in love. Finding a guy that will treat you right and vice versa is far more important than love these days.

Well I am an Indian American. I actually would like to go by arranged marriage. I don't think a lot of Indian American's even like arranged marriage. I am just one of those very few people. But it is not seen in west that much.

In America, no arranged marriages are not common. Not even rare that I know of.
