Do you think that the marriage between Mufasa and Sarabi was arranged when they were cubs, or were they allowed to fall in love on their own?
In TLK, Zazu tells Cub Simba and Cub Nala how great it is that they seem to have romantic feelings for each other, considering it`s already been arranged that they will get married upon growing up. The cubs themselves seemingly had no say in this... Zazu says that it`s a tradition going back generations, to which Simba replies that he`ll get rid of that first thing when he becomes king! And we hear no talk of arranged marriage for Kiara in SP, so clearly he must have.
So what do you think? Did Mufasas parents choose a mate for their firstborn among the female cubs in the pride, or did they allow nature to take its course and let him find love on his own?
