Title: Forced Marriages in India.

Note that I didn't say "arranged", I said "forced".

My question is, should arranged marriages be legal before a person can legally make their own decisions under law?  To me, that seems to be the exact same thing as a forced marriage, legally-speaking.

Arranged marriages for underage girls is forced marriage. There is a process for consensual arranged  marriages, and that isn't it.
