I complete evaluations on the elderly. Most indicate they began courtship and were married a year after they met. These folks were married from 40-67 years. The only thing that got in the way was death. Marriage requires commitment. These folks would do the same thing with anyone else - they did not need the 'right' man or woman, the 'right' feelings, or the 'right' anything. It just requires commitment.
So much for the new generation ideas. Anecdotes can follow anyone, of a person marrying after so much time and divorcing. From what I see, it seems to be just fine if you desire to maintain a connection. I have seen this among many in this generation as well, from different walks of life. It just takes commitment.
People disparage arranged marriages. This is something else that requires commitment, and the idea that your partner will NOT be your 'all-in-all.' Marriage is not necessarily about love, it is about commitment. Let the disagreements begin.
Lets be honest. It takes a year or more before you even really know who the person is and not who they are pretending to be.
Bad idea.
Lol..by the time I knew my husband for a year we were married for 8 months and we're about to have our planned kid...still married after 22 years.
You may pretend...not everyone does.
However if one is not spot on sure they should take as much time as they need...but let's be honest (to use your phrase)....not everyone needs that much time.

Take off your rose colored glasses...many of those marriages only lasted that long because there were no options...especially forvwomen.
Arranged marriages work out in certain situations....but not when young women are treated as pawns, barging tools and simply chattel.....many only last because there are no other options.
Yes...marriage is about love...but love survives the hard times when it's there in the first place.
My husband swears he knew a month in that we'd get married. But, like a sane person, he waited to see how the relationship was going to pan out and took the time for us to know one another better and weather a few intense situations together, including a health/surgical situation.
My parents have been married for 43 years, however, and got engaged after knowing one another six weeks. It happens.
Is it good to propose to a woman after just ONE month of DATING?
No.
That's just straight up freaking psycho.
