I don't see anything wrong with cultural differences ... considering the present divorce rates, an arranged marriage would probably work out just as well as any other. Many countries, England was one when I was growing up (I didn't do well at growing up) had a form of forced marriage. Many of us can remember the time when knocking a girl up was equivalent to a proposal. I do believe that among immigrants, a cultural change, or homogenization, will slowly take place.
