I guess I don’t know what you mean by problematic. Even still today, nearly half of all marriages in the world were arranged. Since it’s declining rapidly in China, I’m sure that percentage will decrease as the current population ages and dies, but it’s still the norm in India and in many other places around the world. So I don’t know what you mean by trope or why stories about something that is extremely common would be inherently problematic by any definition. I feel like you are talking about something specific without stating exactly what it is. Is there some new series about arranged marriages or something?
