What warrants being forcibly married off to a turnip at crossbow point?

Give me one example of thing that might justify marrying Hilgya off that doesn't qualify as "I pulled this from a very special region of my anatomy". Even one.
Perhaps she did something that caused her family to become heavily indebted to Ivan's but Ivan's family agreed to forgive the debt if one of Hilgya's family's daughter's would be married off to one of the sons of Ivan's family and Hilgya was cosen because it was her debt?

It's just as plausible based on our knowledge(Literally nothing) on her family's reasoning for marrying her off as them doing it for poops and giggles.
