Maybe the OP means a marriage where you just succumb to the pressure and say "okay, fine I'll marry him" versus your parents saying "YOU WILL MARRY HIM/HER". I know a girl who got married that way. I don't think it's a good idea to go into a marriage just for the intent to please your parents without thinking about if you can live with the person and build a life together or not. After all, you are the one who lives with your spouse!
