Government Assigned Marriage

A new law has been put into place to help the declining birthrate. When a woman turns sixteen, they are entered into a pool of names. Every now and then a name is drawn. When a woman's name is drawn, they are immediately assigned a husband. There are certain benefits such as monthly stipends, health insurance and so on. Despite initial pushback, the program has been mostly a success, as most women who are chosen are usually in their thirties. However unfortunately for YC, the day after their sixteenth birthday they find out their name has been drawn and it won't be long until they're sent out to meet their new husband.

Could the husband be...

Someone their own age? Maybe a boy they rejected pretty harshly? A man in his thirties? A stranger? So many possibilities.
