Arranged Marriage: Difference between revisions

* In ''Altraterra'' series by Yvonne Pioch, Anne, a 14-years-old girl, is forced by the Magical Academy to marry Miraz, her brother's teacher. Notably because unlike many other works, which relegate the consequences to [[Fridge Horror]] territory, here it is explicitly stated that the sole purpose of said marriage is to produce a male heir, and as soon as possible. Since Anne has a crush on Miraz, she willingly agrees. {{spoiler|then her brother, who made a [[Face Heel Turn]], intevenes...}}

* In [[Enchantress From the Stars]] Evrek is clearly Elana's designated fiance. The chemistry between them is ... less then stellar.

 

 

* ''[[Young Blades]]'': An arranged political marriage between King Louis XIV and the princess of a newly rich kingdom drives the plot of "The Girl from Upper Gaborski." The princess whines and complains about it for the whole episode, leading to this bit of marital advice:

{{quote|'''Queen Anne:''' A state marriage is like a state dinner: you might not like the menu, but it's impolite to show it.

'''Queen Anne:''' Eat your vegetables in public, dear, but have your dessert in private. }}

* Practically all marriages featured on ''[[The Borgias]]'' are based on political alliances (this is [[Truth in Television]] for the time period, of course), with poor Lucrezia being saddled with a [[Domestic Abuser|violent]] [[Marital Rape License|rapist]], and thirteen-year-old Gioffre having to marry [[The Vamp|Sancia of Naples]] - a woman about twice his age, who sees nothing wrong with screwing Gioffre's older brother Juan mere minutes before [[Squick|consummating her marriage with Gioffre]] himself.
