Do arranged marriages really work in the United States


Do arranged marriages really work in the United States?
I have a 27 year old friend who has been trying to get married for years. She feels that because she is getting older she should rush into marriage. It seems that all her friends, including myself, are married. She was born in Pakistan but raised in the United States. Her parents are still trying to arrange her marriage, but she either dislikes the guy because he is not "American" enough or the guy that she likes will not propose to her. If she successfully has an arranged marriage, do you think it will last?

I know of 2 arranged marriages, as well. One, the lady stabbed her husband to death to get out of it. The other one, the lady left Iran for Canada because her husband was a bum, she was tired of supporting him, and if she divorced in Iran she would be seen as a "disgrace" and wouldn't be able to find employment (according to her). 27 isn't old, and if there is a particular type of guy she wants to marry she should be able to look on her own. But tell her to take her time because North American's aren't everything, either...case in point, just read any given question on M&D.
