In every society with which I am passingly familiar where arranged marriages are the norm, the wife is expected to be subservient to the husband (though in some, the wife manages through subterfuge to have some small say-so). Even worse, the prospective husband can survey his proposed bride and decide to accept or reject his parents' choice while the prospective wife has no such option. I know we have some list members who are intimately familiar with these societies and perhaps they will persuade me that I am not correct. But this is my present understanding.
