At the time of St. Monica, women usually did not choose their husbands. Marriages were arranged by the parents of the man and woman. Monica probably got married because a husband had been chosen for her.
Husbands of upper class women in the Tudor era were often chosen based on factors such as social status, wealth, and political alliances. Marriages were frequently arranged by families to strengthen ties between noble households, secure financial stability, or improve social standing. Love matches were less common and often considered secondary to these strategic considerations.
Marriages should be arranged if the two people involved want them to be.
Some were young, thus not of marriageable age. For the others, suitable noble young men from the royal families of Europe had not yet been found. It is inconceivable that they would have chosen their own husbands, arranged dynastic marriages would have been their destiny, had they lived.
Well, honey, those upper class Tudor girls didn't have much say in the matter. Their husbands were chosen based on strategic alliances, family connections, and political reasons. Love and compatibility were often secondary concerns in the game of royal matchmaking. It was all about securing power and status, not about finding true love.
Arranged marriages were very common throughout the world until the 18th century. In China, arranged marriages sometimes called blind marriages were the norm before the mid 20th century

Most are very much against arranged marriages, at least in the Western world.
For the Chinese, arranged marriages mainly occur in rich families. The reason is that if the rich match with the rich their empire will be bigger and larger. This will bring more money and more business and ensure that the business will not fall into the wrong hands but rather to the chosen ones.
