ARRANGED MARRIAGE

“The social structure of the edo period (1615-1868)


developed under the strict control of the Togkugawa military
regime. During this period, the families of the shogunate and
provincial leaders (daimyo) arrange marriages on political
interests, and the consent of the shogunate was necessary for
the daimyo wedding. The betrothed always came from the
same social strata.”
