The issue is simple and does not need such a debate.
Women - in Islam - have the right to choose their husbands provided they are good Muslims.
Woman has to approve and agree to marry a man. Under any circumstances she cannot be forced to marry a man she does not like/want.
When we follow a religion, we should follow it completely. Any religion is a complete integral system. We cannot select from the "menu" what we like.
Whether a marriage is arranged or by choice, it is subject to success or failure. In case of failure, the couple or either of them can ask for divorce which should be granted easily. Usually the judge has to make sure that the couple cannot continue together and it is not a matter of "I am bored" or "I found a better man/woman and want to change"
