Though there were several themes present in the novel Matched, by Ally Condie the theme of forbidden love is the most prevalent throughout the novel.  After being matched with her long term friend Xander, Cassia finds herself falling in love with another one of her friends, Ky, as a result of a mistake made in the matching system.  Though their love is forbidden Cassia can't help the feelings she has for Ky and finds herself breaking the rules of society to stand up for herself as an individual.  Though their being together puts everyone and everything they love in jeopardy both Cassia and Ky are willing to do anything they can to be together even if it means suffering the harsh consequences of their society.
