Let's imagine for a second, that we are still in imperial times. Your family wants you to marry this girl from another family in order to improve the trading relations of your two families.

The girl is pretty, 7/10, but you don't love her. Hell, you don't care for her personality. But marrying her would provide you would an enormous boost in social status, money, and prestige.

Would you accept?

Damn right I would. But that doesn't exclude me from porking some other chicks on the side.

Just treat her as a buisness partner, and make sure she gets a good deal out of it too so she doesn't complain!

So yeah! Why not!

With the above as one of the established parameters, I would say yes. At that time intended purpose of marriage was entirely different than it is now. Royalty and aristocracy married for political and economic reasons. That is simply what was done.

However, I'd have a different view of it if we were to assume it was 2005 and my life was more similar to what it really is.

There's always a catch...there's always will be. :D

But just based on your data, then yeah.
