Horrible. What is with that marriage bullshit? Just marrying some random guy because....well because DRAMA!
Actually it's "because... family!" I don't know much about Japan, but I know that their families are very important, to the point where women accept a arranged marriage for the sake of the family.
As for how often it happens I don't know, but I strongly believe that it isn't as often as in manga, that's for sure (although in the past arranged marriage was extremely common).
It might be more common to be more arranged in upper class / rich / big business type families?
I think that it probably is the case, since the families with more wealth are, usually, the ones that are more patriarchal.
