arranged match

One young woman ran away from home when a secret trip to the cinema for a Khan film led to a hurriedly arranged match with a man who was not a fan and disapproved of the fact that she was.

According to her family, Mangal had been unhappily married to an abusive man in an arranged match.

She married at 18 in an arranged match between families of the same caste.

The marriage being an arranged match, romantic love was not part of it.

Based on his own marriage — which was not an arranged match, as his Pakistani-American family had hoped — the film may just be revolutionary for showing, in his words, “Muslims being matter-of-fact Muslim.”
