What is another word for mariage de convenance?
Pronunciation: [mˈaɹɪd͡ʒ də kənvˈɛnəns] (IPA) 
"Mariage de convenance" is a French term that refers to a marriage based primarily on practical considerations, rather than romantic love. Synonyms for this phrase include arranged marriage, business marriage, contract marriage, strategic marriage, and forced marriage. While these terms have slightly different connotations, they all imply that the decision to marry is based on factors such as family or financial interests, rather than personal attraction or emotional compatibility. In some cultures, such marriages are still seen as a viable option, but in most of the Western world, they are considered outdated or unethical. Regardless of the term used, marriages of convenience are fraught with complexities and often do not result in lasting happiness for the parties involved.
