The problem I have with your argument is the suggestion that if a person is given certain privileges, then that person must assent to a particular injustice. And, whether you like it or not, forcing someone to marry is an injustice. It's not as inconsequential as you make it out to be. In the context of this sort of society, it's giving up control of your own body; it's not simply having "embroider shit."

The princesses of old were passed around from prince to prince so that their fathers could gain political influence. Often times, a king would have his daughter's husband killed so that he could marry her off to someone else. A woman's worth revolved completely around her ability to attract a suitor and to keep attracting suitors so that her parents (re: her father) could amass social and political capital. Would you really sit there and argue that that's okay because "oh, the girls had lots of privileges?"
