My wife's friend got divorced from an arranged marriage. The husband was an abusive fuck. She is pakistani where arranged marriages are a lot more common. I can answer some of the questions with this one anecdotal evidence.
1) Do they take the woman's happiness into question? Yes, but the focus is if the families would be happier if joined. The woman's happiness is secondary.
2) Do they encourage blind submissiveness? Yes. My wife's friend showed bruise marks to her parents only to be repaid with, "what did you do to upset him so much?"
3) What are the repercussions after a divorce? She was forced to move back with her parents with her child. The larger family see her as a tainted and avoid any contact with her. Her parents always encouraged to get back together with her abusive ex-husband.
Thankfully, she moved out of her parents and is doing a lot better.
