I think it's legal in parts of Asia if that's what you mean by Asian. India and Pakistan have it legal I think and probably a lot in the middle east as well.

i agree it is legal.. but its unfair on girls who reach the age of 15 and taken abroad to get married to close relatives ie cousins..the children are raised in this country and have no idea what their husbands way of thinking...

yeah, in some parts it is legal (particularly in chinese communities) i think it is only right that the parties to the arranged marriage be given the chance to select who'll be their spouse. i don't get it why the children has to suffer and carry the burden of being tied in a relationship which is clearly devoid of free will...

arrange marriage although it might seems obscure is still legal as long as the parties concerned are both consenting adults and they agreed to that marriage.
