In some cultures, women may be pressured or forced into marriage. I can't really comment about that. In my own culture, women are not commodities; they are active participants in the process.
Women put themselves on the marriage market or decline to take part. They evaluate offers of marriage and accept the one that maximizes the net present value of the utility they expect to derive from the proposal. If market clearing conditions do not exist, they do not proceed.
