48. Fixed or arranged marriages is a union
between a groom and bride who are
selected by other parties rather than by
each other. The marriages are usually
fixed by the parents, grandparents, or
other older and respected relatives or
members of the community.
49. The following are some kinds of fixed marriages in the Philippines:
1. Pikot- This is a forced marriage or shotgun marriage wherein one gets married against his or her
free will. This is usually upon the command of the parents.
2. Buya - This is the parents' prearranged or preplanned future marriage of their child. The marrying
couple do not go through the usual dating and courting stages of a relationship. The parents or the
family sets the standards and guidelines of who marries their child. Wealthier families arrange for their
children to marry into a friend's family of similar status even as early as childhood.
3. Elope - This is when someone runs away secretly with a lover, especially with the intention of
getting married. This is done without the consent or knowledge of the parents.
4. Dowry - This is a process wherein the property of the parent is distributed to a daughter at her
marriage rather than at the holder's death (mortis causa). This process establishes and ensures conjugal
fund and assures support (endowment) in widowhood and eventually used to provide for the needs of
her sons and daughters.
