That's a side effect of the society in which arranged marriages have typically arisin, historically. It's not an attribute of arranged marriages themselves. In general, neither person in an arranged marriage has a choice (or the person who didn't have the choice would have the choice, by secondary effect, to make themselves chronically undesirable... in the limit if one of them has a choice, both have a choice).
