Great points. I am from country where arranged marriages are norm. In last 2 decade or so divorce rates rising. And one reason I see is indulgent attitude. So things have to be beautiful, happy, awesome and so on. Older attitude of just being in a average relationship is no acceptable to lot of people. I see this incessant indulgence heavily promoted by media, movies, TV etc.

How does that work after the divorce? Do you get into another arranged marriage? Or are you free to pursue whoever you wish after you've had your first arranged marriage?

Yes, another arranged marriage possible for both partners. Also as you say first failed marriage help get more permissive attitude from family/society towards 'dating first' marriages.
