Is it normal my cousin's parents are forcing him to get married?

ok so my older cousin came over to usa as a student and completed a phd degree, now he is working in a great job here. his parents and family are back home in our country so he visit us a lot because he dont have other relatives here in america. he is 29 years old now but he came 6 years ago. recently his parents are telling him to get married, and they picked out a girl who lives near them who they think will be a good wife for my cousin. this girl and my cousin talked on skype and things like that, but they never meet face to face because they live thousands of miles away. i think this is wrong. his parents should not tell him to marry, because they dont know what will make him happy. they want him to get married immediately because they are scared he will fall in love with a american girl. i think its very selfish what they are doing. he was dating a girl in usa for a while but he didnt tell his parents. he even told me (he trusts me) that the girl his parents picked is not good looking but she is very educated. i just dont think this is a relationship that will work, you cant force it, and they dont have any feelings for each other. my cousin is smart, tall, handsome, he deserves something better, and i know he doesnt want to get married and he enjoys being single and dating girls. his parents dont have any idea who he really is, they think he will do whatever they say, because he is afraid to disrespect them, but he will not be happy if he keeps listening to them. his parents already planned the date of marriage and got everything prepared, including when his future wife will come to live with him in america, but i think he is scared to stand up to his parents. in his heart he does not want to get married right now, and especially not to a girl who his parents picked.
