How can they have a wedding before a woman gives her consent?

Well there is "consent" in that they choose between getting married and getting disowned by their family, often ending up homeless.
They put her in a dress and tell her she's getting married, and she puts on a brave face and hopes her new husband isn't too violent.
I find the idea of a marriage without consent disgusting and reprehensible beyond words.
Cute.
