Arranged marriage still happens in India as well. A co-worker of mine, from India living in the US, was informed by her parents that they had arranged her marriage to another Indian living in the US.
It's quite common. And, depending on the expectation of the people involved, can be quite successful. But if you're not willing, being forced into it is pretty close to slavery.

She is going through with it.
