Marriage is like a business so arrange marriages will get the couple together to make it work, rather than fall in love first and then try to make it work and the get divorced.

Yes, this is how I understood it to be. I left out the part about the couple actually
being able to reject the arrangement.
It makes little sense to go ahead with the marriage if one or both mates is opposed
to the union.
