You're right, that happens. Sometimes.
You're leaving out half of the story, which I don't think is very fair.

Saying: "Japanese women often marry for the sake of being married, and have less of an emotional attachment."

Is an extremely blind assumption in my opinion.
Japanese or not, women don't just go around marrying for no reason.

You're making it seem like Japanese woman are a loveless people that go out and marry people they met ten minutes ago.

I'd say, quite the contrary.

I'd strongly disagree with this.
Finding a Japanese woman that loves you is just as hard as finding a woman of ANY race that loves you.
