** In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', Elrond will only let his daughter Arwen marry Aragorn if he's King of a reunited Arnor and Gondor and Sauron is gone; quite sensible, as of course Elrond doesn't want his daughter to stay behind on a Middle-earth ruled by Sauron, so he won't let her unless Aragorn helps make it a safer place to live. As Elrond [[ParentalSubstitute raised Aragorn]] as a foster-son, it's pretty strongly implied that he badly wants to make sure that Aragorn fulfills his destiny, so he's also using the useful coincidence fate dealt him to do so. And unlike their mutual ancestors Beren and Lúthien, Aragorn and Arwen seem okay with the condition set on their marriage. Naturally Aragorn wants to save the world ''anyway'', and the allusion to Beren implies he's lucky it's a relatively easier prospect.

It's implied that Elrond (who is the great grandson of Beren and Luthien, and lived through some very nasty events caused by Thingol's challenge) guesses that history is repeating itself, and that whatever challenge he sets, Aragorn will manage it and marry Arwen - so he sets a task which he actually wants ''done'', rather than an "impossible" task. And unlike their mutual ancestors Beren and Lúthien, Aragorn and Arwen seem okay with the condition set on their marriage. Naturally Aragorn wants to save the world ''anyway'', and the allusion to Beren implies he's lucky it's a relatively easier prospect.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'': Miorine is at the center of one. Her father, who founded the academy, set the rule that the top pilot would marry his daughter. Since he is the head of the largest corporation and Miorine is his heir, this also means vast amounts of wealth and power. Miorine hates everything about this, not least because the top pilot is the insufferable lout Guel. Suletta only finds all this out ''after'' she beats Guel in a duel (she just wanted him to apologize to Miorine), meaning she is now Miorine's fiance. Despite minimal actual romance between the two (Miorine tends to be cold in general), Miorine clearly prefers Suletta to any of the other challengers.
