Certainly yes, different cultures have different norms.
As a complete aside, forced marriages are not the same as arranged marriages. In many cultures arranged marriages (which seem completely bonkers to someone grown up in a western mindset) are both common, work well, and often good.
Clearly neither arranged marriages, nor "choice marriages", are guaranteed. The divorce rate in the west bears this out. Both work well, both work badly.
Again arranged is not the same as forced - clearly forced marriages are not something I consider a good thing.
