During the medieval age it was normal to arrange marriages in order to secure political allegiances or peace treaties in order to achieve land and also to accomplish the continuity of bloodlines. This was done among the nobility but also with warriors and common people. The constant treat of warfare was one of the main reasons for such things.
The shinobies (like medieval warriors) can die any minute: in missions, exams, at war or even attacked at home. Many villages, clans and kekkei genkai have already been extinguished due to such things. Now war can be unleashed soon. Kids, bonds, deeps alliances and peace are needed more than ever in naruverse, in order to avoid total annihilation.
Arranged marriage can occur in Naruverse for several means:
. to assure the survival of a linage and a kekkei genkai or a secret technique, or even to create a stronger linage.
. to secure a current alliance or to seal a new one
. to seal peace treaties, and create new bonds between villages due to the kids that will have relatives in two countries.

Sunagakure cannot afford constant state of warfare because their strength has diminished due to the actions of their daimio, the invasion of Konoha and Akatsuki’s attack. They may need to arrange marriages to deepen his bonds with Konoha and peace with other villages.
I suppose Suna will like to marry Gaara to a local girl like Mnatsuri, in order to deepen Gaara’s bonds to his hometown. But Temari and Kankuro can easily be assigned to marry with foreign people.
The Akimichi, Nara and Yamanata clan may be reduced to one family each; but they control techniques witch existence Konoha will want to preserve. So marry arrangement can be done for Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji with leaf’s people, or even with outsiders if they will move to Konoha.
Shikamaru said that he planned to marry and have two kids. I think Temari can be a great candidate for him. Their relation is not only suitable, but also of certain political use. Their union may help to secure at long term the alliance between Konoha and Suna. Shika and Temari are smart, calm and may build a system of educational exchange and cooperation that will survive the passing of Gaara and Naruto.
Inoichi, Shikaku and Chouza can also arrange the union of tow of their kids. I see Chouji and Ino matrimony more probable. But Shikamaru and Ino marriage may work well and produce kids with shadow and mind control at the same time.
I wonder if the Uchiha clan will be extinguished with Sasuke. Nut if he survives he may marry to an important girl of one of the main shinobi’s villages, to secure the protection of the new Uchiha kids.
Sasuke and Temari union will increase Suna future power; and will provide a safe place for the new Uchiha to born. This won’t harm his alliance with Konoha if Sasuke get well again with Naruto. Sasuke and Temari can build a nice family, and a great duo at battles (imagine Sasuke’s fire with Temari’s wind, and the powerful Kirin he may produce without exhausting his chakra).Also Temari is strong enough to protect the new Uchiha kids.
Sasuke and Hinata marriage can produce a more powerful linage of Uchihas. This would secure the survival of the new clan (due to the Hyuga protection) and increase the power of the Hyuga (because the Uchiha will be in debt and will support them). But this could happen only if Sasuke restore his friendship with Naruto and Konoha. Hinata can lay eyes on Naruto’s best friend if he marries to someone else. She may stay at home and have a lot of children. Hinata’s sweetens and caring temper will heal Sasuke’s wounds and he may help her to grow into a secure person.
The political alliance may work equally if Naruto marry to Hinata and Sasuke marry to Hanabi. But we don’t know much about her to guess how it will work.
Sasuke and Sakura union can work like SasuHina but with fewer gains for Sasuke. And I do not see them as a right mach. Karin is the only woman near Sasuke right now. But she is obsessed with Sakuke and he simple avoids her.
Furthermore if Suigetsu and Juugo survive and return to the homelands, Sasuke’s relations with them may help to keep peace with their lands.
Naruto may be the last of the linage of the Namikaze and the Uzumaki, and I hope to see him as a Hokage, a husband and a father one day. I wonder if he will follow his father example and marry a kunoichi from another land.
Naruto and Hinata union could provide outstanding security to “The Hokage Naruto”. The Hyugas may win better positions as relatives of a Kage, and also under his influence they can solve the old problems between the main and the branch family. Also, Hinata finally has confessed her feelings to Naruto and their relation may finally start if both survive.
However Naruto as a single Hokage can marry to a foreign girl (like the daughter of a Daimio or a Kage) from the Mist, the Rain, or the Lightening. Naruto will certainly do this if it would help to protect peace by new bonds.
The Hyuga probably will like to arrange marriages among people of their clan, even of the same branch. They have taken measures as the cursed seal to protect the Byakugan, so they would not let die their bloodline ability. I suppose Hinata and Neji will help each other as brothers to obtain Lord Hiazi approval for their unions with non-Hyugas.
I think Neji will marry Tenten in the name of love. They kids will be awesome ninjas with the Byakugan and Tenten’s weapon mastery. I imagine their friend Lee marring a regular girl. Neither Lee nor Tenten are important to consider for alliances.
The Aburame clan is probably one of the most traditional, and I suppose Shino will marry a nice lady of his clan, or if they lack of Aburames, he can marry to a civilian. He needs love.
The Inuzuka probably marry to common citizens. But anyway I think Kiba have certain interest in Hinata and may lie yes on her sister.
Doyou think any of these unions should happen for the sake or peace?
Do you imagine other arranged marriages?
Should be unions between people of different villages to secure the alliances?
Will the shinobies obey an order to marry just as they obey an order to kill?
