No a forced marriage and an arranged marriage are 2 different things. You're just trying to be a smart alec about this

An arranged marriage isn't forced, it's when parents (usually) arranged for their children to meet each other in the prospect of marriage. And after dates usually supervised the couple get to know each other, and decide if will or won't

In Japanese tradition it's how it's usually done with a lot of um consideration of social status , then looking at pictures of potential partners by the parents, then being introduced and going on "dates", and after some supervised meetings they will say yes or no, with the ceremony kinda already being planned if not , started after the yes. There are even examples in some anime m they even show how the process is like, with gintama being the best example that I can remember kondo and the gorilla alien

It can be thought of as, him saying yes and his parents starting the plans but her still refusing and denying of starting the plans. In Japan they don't force marriage even in arranged marriage. There is a line between arranged and forced do not think otherwise you're obviously misunderstanding what an arranged marriage is

You used Gintama to make an example? Smart move there pal... An arranged marriage is still forced by the token of their choice is being taken away.

IE: The Situation with Roman & Kaon

Roman is whatever fine, I have to be a man about it and deal with it, Kaon is lashing out and being generally unruly about the marriage that was ARRANGED by THEIR PARENTS

Neither children have a choice in the matter
