Not really. It depends on what is meant by “arranged marriage”.

I mean, yeah, but what’s the point of calling something an arranged marriage when it’s actually just parents acting as an old school dating app

Obviously because parents behave differently to dating apps.

But then it’s still just arranged dating at best. Maybe the parents look for someone who is interested in entering a marriage in the first place, but that doesn’t make it an arranged marriage IMO.
