Too busy for love? Let your parents arrange it

Love _ who has time for that? Arshia Urooj Zaidi certainly didn't. Up to her neck in a Ph.D. program, she knew that as much as she wanted to fall in love and get married, her schedule just didn't allow for a search for Mr. Right.

But Zaidi had a backup plan.

"I left it up to my parents. I said, 'I'll do my Ph.D. and you guys take care of this,'" she says.

A little more than a year after her parents found a promising suitor, Zaidi, 34, had both her degree and a husband she had come to love. She owes it all, she says, to an arranged marriage.
Not to be confused with forced marriages, in which girls, often very young ones, are married off against their will, arranged marriage uses family connections and parental vetting to match adults, who decide for themselves whether they will marry.

Many immigrant groups have favored some variation of arranged marriage; in the West today, it's especially common among families from India, Pakistan and China.
