Is the issue of arranged marriages really about POLYGAMY?
Upon close investigation, we discover that, aside from a few specific religious sects, most pro-POLYGAMY minded individuals (or, at least, especially most of those coming from certain religions such as the Christians in Christian Polygamy, anyway) do not support the idea of arranged marriages at all. In fact, some pro-POLYGAMY minded individuals are very much "against" it indeed.
On the other hand, there are some other people, who only support MONOGAMY (actually being anti-POLYGAMY minded), who actually think that the idea of arranged marriages is acceptable.
Of course, though, as this idea of arranged marriages is considered quite unacceptable to many in civil society, still though, that does not mean that such ones would then think that MONOGAMY itself should then be banned, just because they found some examples of pro-MONOGAMY individuals practicing arranged marriages. Rather, such ones would only be concerned specifically with the idea of arranged marriages by itself.
Any person who therefore concludes that they do not support or are even downright "against" arranged marriages, then it must also be understood and concluded that that issue is a completely separate issue from that of POLYGAMY. Moreover, all who would oppose that idea of arranged marriages would also actually find much support even from many who do support POLYGAMY.
As such, this investigation reveals that the issue of arranged marriages is a completely separate issue from POLYGAMY altogether.
Therefore, THAT then reveals the truth for us that arranged marriages is not a basis for bringing us to an ANTI-POLYGAMY way of thinking.
