FAQ
How is a marriage of convenience different from a fake marriage or a sham wedding?
They overlap, but subtle differences exist: a fake marriage is often a short-term deception or ruse (pretending to be married for an event), while a marriage of convenience is a formal, usually legally binding arrangement entered for practical reasons. A sham wedding can be either, depending on whether the marriage is meant to be legitimate or merely performative.
Why is this trope so popular in romance fiction?
It creates instant stakes, forced proximity, and clear external pressures—ideal for slow-burn tension and emotional payoff. Readers enjoy watching practical arrangements evolve into real affection and the moral/relational tests that follow.
