I am glad to see you get your info from MAYBE about Islam.
*sigh
Please do a little research before you accuse the man of such things.
Also on the note of arranged marriages and people being forced. According to Islam forced marriage is forbidden.
Here are a couple of hadiths:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
A virgin came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and mentioned that her father had married her against her will, so the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) allowed her to exercise her choice.
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: An orphan virgin girl should be consulted about herself; if she says nothing that indicates her permission, but if she refuses, the authority of the guardian cannot be exercised against her will. The full information rest with the tradition narrated by Yazid.
Not to mention that in Islam women are allowed to divorce themselves.
The Qur'an even specifically mentions the prophets wives and says they are allowed to leave if they choose so.
