Marital Procedures

[tux08902]

I've been wondering about this for a while. However, my parents have always said that Islam advocates arranged marriage, but I've never seen any support for this. It has always seemed more like a cultural practice in countries on the Indian sub-continent rather than an Islamic practice. What are marital procedures in Islam?

Islam advocates arranged marriage Islam advocates marraige, but to say it advocates arrange marraige as in it promotes it isn't true even though it may be halaal.
