They have produced people who are in happy relationships for 1000s of years.

I am definitely in favor of picking your mate, but I don't consider arranged marriages sick by default.

And in societies where women need looked after, I can see them as very reasonable. Marriages in such societies are less about love and more about being provided for. If the woman is picking based on love, she is being a fool (in such societies).

I think I remember reading that arranged marriages have a similar percentage who say they are in love after 20 years as marriages done the way we do in the west.
