Love, Marriage, and Everything In Between

What is the main idea in the paragraph below?

In American society, romantic love is considered the main reason for people to marry. On the other hand, in some societies, romantic love is considered a form of obsession or madness. In fact, even in many societies where "true love" is not considered a form of insanity, arranged marriages are still the norm. For example, in many cultures it's believed that marriage is basically an economic arrangement. Thus, a farmer needs a wife both to bear children and to share the farm work while raising new "hands" as additional farm labor. In other societies, marriage is mainly about cementing connections between families. Indeed, most marriages between members of European royal or aristocratic lineages were primarily aimed at creating trust, loyalty, and mutual obligations between privileged and powerful families.

A. Arranged marriages are more practical than those based on romantic love.

B. Different societies have different ideas about the purpose of marriage.

C. True love is a sound basis for marriage.

D. Marriage is usually a family affair.

I think the answer is B

From the passage given above, it can be seen that different cultures participate in marriage for different reasons. In America, people get married for love. In some cultures, many get involved in marriage for economic reasons, while in other societies marriage is used to cement connections between families. Marriage is a diverse institution that serves various purposes across different societies, highlighting the uniqueness and complexity of human relationships.
