love match
Marriage without arrangement
A love match is a marriage or romantic pairing based on mutual affection rather than practical considerations like wealth, social status, or family arrangement.
The term often appears in historical contexts where arranged marriages were common: Theirs was a love match, not a strategic alliance between families.
In sports, particularly tennis, love match has a separate meaning—a game in which the loser scores zero points.
