Right. All the arranged marriages I'm aware of were ones where the expected norm was for the children to acquiesce to the arrangement, but didn't force them to accept. They did so either to honor their parent's selection (or that of the matchmaker hired by the parents).

I also have colleagues that have declined the arranged matches. Their parents weren't happy, but they did it all the same.
