India’s booming dark data economy

Exactly. Just for clarity, arranged doesn't mean forced. The woman in almost all cases gives a consent. And if she later regrets, this is the path she chooses instead of just leaving, and her parents usually support her. There are various reasons for choosing this path:

1. Free money. 2. Free sympathy from the society. 3. Feeling of revenge.

In addition to the three above reasons, many choose this path to "clear their name", as in "I am a victim", who deserves a second chance at marriage.

Remember that marriages for divorced women are extremely difficult in India. If the woman was separated from the husband, "as a victim", they have a better chance, especially if she is young.

However, due to severe misuse of the law, now the situation is such that any woman even as much linked to a court case regarding marriage issues, is effectively shunned from marriage.

And this affects genuine victims a lot.
