Hi there 4 my 1 and only!
I think that being in an arranged married, both parties are not expected to say "I love you" to each other unless they are together for some time already and really fell in love with each other in that span of time.
Most of arranged marriage doesn't really work but there are some exceptions, two were actually marriage of my two grandfathers. They had an arrange marriage but both were happy in the end with lots of children as proof and a harmonious relationship with their own wives.
Marrying for money isn't really right but if both parties are willing to make it work out, it wouldn't be as difficult as it may seem.

I've heard of others who'd been in arranged marriages due to their religious beliefs, but I just kinda feel sorry for them that they don't get to pick their own mate. I'm sure there are some out there in this situation that have grown to truly and deeply love eachother over time, but surely it must be rare that it is genuine love at first sight for many of these couples.
No, I could not marry a man that I didn't know, let alone, if I don't like him, cuz without like, there can never be love.
