I know a number...: ...Of successful career women who are happy in arranged marriages that they themselves had a role in arranging. The relationship can change and become more equal between the two spouses, but the mechanism for selecting a spouse does not have to disappear with that change.

Hopefully stop: Forced marriage is as much a crime against humanity as the oppression that has prevented women from getting their own jobs and money in the first place. My traditional-minded colleagues are free to point out examples that are successful; in many traditional societies, an unwanted arranged marriage by a girl with no resources is the most common overall cause of suicide. It's simply wrong.
