It's Royalty!
Has anyone ever given consideration that maybe she didn't have a choice in the matter?????? This is royalty and even today in many, many families, the bride and even the groom do not have much say. It's arranged by the parents or other family members to strengthen ties between factions, tribes, governments for political and/or dominence reasons.
The latest generation in some of the Western royal families are moving away from this but not all. Do you really think Charles wanted to marry Diana? How about the current Queen and her husband, Prince Philip (Greek royal family)? There are examples of marriages not being fixed, of course, but they tend not to be directly in the line of succession. And the Middle East still clings to tradition a bit more.....
