Line 11:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Demon King Daimao]]'', the government gives one of their agents the duty of arranging a marriage between Junko and Akuto.
* ''[[Code Geass]] R2'': The arranged marriage between Odysseus and Chinese Empress Tianzi.
* ''[[Final Approach]]'' postulates a secret government project organized to address the declining Japanese birth rate by using a supercomputer to match up couples with the intent that they should wed and produce many, ''many'' children. Naturally, the main character gets unwillingly caught up in one of these pairings.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* The "Marriage Contract" story is an [[Fandom-Specific Plot|entire subgenre]] in ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Fan Fiction]], with two basic varieties: A) Harry finds that he is bound by a contract written before his birth (sometimes ''centuries'' before) to marry J. Random Girl, and he can do nothing to get out of it; and B) After the defeat of Voldemort, sympathizers who (''still'') remain in power in the Ministry ram through a bill to force Muggle-born to marry Purebloods -- ostensibly to "save" Pureblood family lines in danger of extinction, but also (or really) to punish the winners of the war by forcing them into magically-enforced submission to undercover Death Eaters.
** There is also a subvariety of Type A in which Harry inherits a contract that is conditional -- he can choose to enact it or pass it on to later generations of Potters. In these stories, he almost always approaches the girl and her family, and gives her the option to at least see if a relationship can work out -- even if she's someone he never would have considered before.
* In the ''[[Ranma ½]]/[[Futaba-Kun Change!]]/[[Final Approach]]'' crossover ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2295957/1/Final-Approach-Ranma Final Approach Ranma]'' by "Trimatter", a government program designed to address the declining Japanese birth rate by the wholesale arrangement of marriages pairs Ranma off with Futaba Shimeru.
