Oh! Outdated Information! Sorry! I have lived in Japan for many years with my Japanese wife and children.
More common than you may think, just less formal.
Most of the Japanese people who live, and work land in the countryside are over 65 years of age, most of the young leave the countryside for the city, and is the main reason countryside communities are dieing here.
Again! this is not as outdated as you may think!
I would agree! Though in some cases the reason for marriage can just be a case of peer pressure, a mother may just say to her daughter " I think its time you found a husband", if she fails to find a husband, her parents may very well introduce her to some one, though there are cases where a women has taken a husband, and really does not love them.
