15 Write definitions, advantages and disadvantages of different types of marriage as in the example at home.
Example: A pragmatic (or “arranged') marriage that is facilitated by formal procedures of family or group politics. A responsible authority sets up or encourages the marriage. The authority could be parents, family, a religious figure or a consensus.
From my point of view the main advantage of such a type of marriage is financial support from the beginning to the end. Nevertheless, there is a great disadvantage of such a type of marriage — you don’t love your wife/husband and cannot be divorced from him or her because of money.
