    In many cultures you are not considered “married” until the husband consumates the marriage, and often confirms that the bride was a virgin.

    Why would they suddenly get a choice?

    Yes I believe constipating the marriage is what you’re universally supposed to do

    Depends.

    I have met Indian couples her waited to get to know each other better first. I am from the Balkans and have also met people from my culture that waited.

    I have also met wives that didn’t have a choice…

    It depends on the couple.

    It’s hard to imagine arranged marriages are even tolerated anymore.

    Mostly YES, but it also depends.

    Alot of the times arranged marriages aren’t between total strangers, tho these instances have existed.

    My uncles got married to women they knew but were within the LARGER clan (clan is a loose word) who were like family and distant cousins.
