she followed the path she followed, just as a number of other women had done so wanting more in this world. she did not "do it to herself". it is not a case of suicide.
Under your "logic", it would be perfectably acceptable for your employer to abuse and exploit you as their employee (after all you voluntarily accepted the position, didn't you?), it would be perfectly acceptable shop owners to sell you damaged merchandise as new (after all you chose to purchase from them, didn't you?), it would be perfectly acceptable for you to be robbed walking down the street (no one forced you to walk down that road but your own two feet?) etc. etc.

Exploitation is exploitation and trafficking is trafficking - no matter how nicely it is packaged. I am not saying that there have not succes stories - there have been - but do you really seriously believe any truly legitimate dating/marriage service would support a couple getting hitched after based on eye contact? It sounded like a meat market with merchandise on display. Bordello / dating service - the line is really fuzzy here.
