First of the fact that China is a communist country has nothing to do with the fact that arrange marriages still happen there is that were true then Russia would have had it. The reason it still exist in far east countries like China, Vietnam, Korea, and even in Japan is because it is deeply rooted in their culture arrange marrange have apart of their way of life and they see nothing wrong with it. Kids are raised to respect their parents and elders and to preform their family duties for the "honour" and "prestige" and those parent believe they know better and like them their children have to do what is best for the family. I don't agree with it but its a fact of life that is slow to change, it has nothing to do with goverment, it has to do with tradition, which is extremely important in most eastern countries, who put great emphasis on their past history and ancestors. And even then the bases of these arranges of today remains the same money, status and poltical power.

Dude do your research, by medieval times most of europe was Christian, religion did nothing to stop that. Kings often made themselves saint like, but often had a mistress on the side or a illegitimate child somewhere.
