I said IF you just choose a girl randomly, which is still happening in some areas and families. OK, I didn't say you must not go khastegari for the girl you love! If that's what you have to do to marry the girl, then you definitely have to do it :P Yes, I think I will go khastegari too, because that's the only way to marry a Persian girl.

so you never go khastegari for the girl you love? Khastegari is a ceremony to ask for the girl's hand from her parents, either arranged marriage or a marriage with love.

For the people who don't speak Persian & make comments out of ignorance: KHASTEGARI means MARRIAGE PROPOSAL(like when you propose to your girl friend).

Khastegari IS arranged marriage if you randomly choose someone to marry with without being in love or something!

You are not getting it. Khastegari & arranged marriage do not have the same meaning, title's translation is incorrect.

LOL! You Google everything? just because Google "indexes" two links with "arranged marriage in iran" in it, you say there are no arranged marriages in Iran? Go find out more about your country man!!!

That's why the title says "arranged marriage" and NOT "forced marriage!". Of course it's arranged only when future "aroos" and/or her family agree with it. But in this it can still be called "arranged marriage" because "damad" doesn't even know "aroos" ;)
