His love marriage was to sahib jamal and nur jahan rest all political weddings or arranged marriagesI doubt he loved man and jodh bai - they were his cousins and married to strengthen Mughal and rajputhana bond of course since they are cousins he was close to them but love I doubt he loved them like a lover. That kind of love was for sahib jamal and nur jahan whom he went against parents and society to marry at any cost
His marriage to Man Bai was arranged by Mariam Makani, on his request. He fell for her in a wedding in Rajputana, which he attended with his mother. About Jodh Bai, one can still debate, but i think he was fond of her, especially that hunting incident. But, Man Bai's marriage to him was on Salim's insistence.
