An arranged marriage gives you the option of saying no to that person, so in that respect you do have a choice. Please do not mistake arranged marriages for forced marriages, they are a very different thing and illegal anywhere in the world.
Although I know plenty of people who have had arranged marriages only one person I know had a forced marriage and she took matters into her own hands, informed the appropriate authorities and the marriage was annulled.
