Given that the choice was who to marry by an ordinary person, I don't find that subtext as strong at all: most people's choices, on that level, are meaningless? And then you can explore simply the idea that happiness and misery on a personal level can exist even within general misery or perfection.
Just, in a world where we LITERALLY HAVE people claiming that same sex relationships and women seeking agency and fulfillment are ruining everything, I find as is a lot more distressing than the idea that a woman's relationship choices don't have much effect on the world.
