Arranged marriage

An arranged marriage was a wedding arranged by a person or persons other than those being married. Arranged marriages can take place with the participants' prior knowledge or agreement or without it, depending on the circumstances, context and the culture of those arranging the marriage. Often, the arrangements will be made by family members on behalf of their children as part of their culture, but such marriages may also be arranged for political reasons.

The Vulcans are one race which will conduct arranged marriages, although they do not always go forward. 

In 2364, Deanna Troi was to be married to Wyatt Miller, to whom she was bonded as a child by both of their respective families. 

In 2368, the Kriosian Kamala was to be married to Alrik of Valt as a means to end a centuries-long conflict. 

In 2373, Ensign Vorik, realizing that his arranged marriage on Vulcan was probably dissolved on account of him having disappeared in the Delta Quadrant, proposed marriage to B'Elanna Torres.
