Arranged marriages used to be the order of the day to some cultures and still is now. No it’s not a sin as far as I know. The expectation is that love will grow after the union.

Unless you are marrying someone under false pretenses, I do not see how it could be a sin if that is simply the way it’s done.

The expectation is that love will grow after the union.
Another realistic expectation according to all Scripture and God's Instructions
is that love might not be something that must grow, per se -----
love is a choice, not a feeling nor an emotion to be affected by.
A choice to do what is best as God says, ALWAYS, in particular for someone close, especially for a spouse or if engaged to someone.

If a person is married to a person that are not in love with are they in sin. Please support with scriptures
Read through Scripture - see what God says Himself about all things. Always asking Him for TRUTH as only He is able to give, and choose to DO HIS WORD (that is love!) not to be a hearer only(which is or may be deadly or fatal)

Is a person sinning, if they don't have romantic love for the person they are married to?

1 Samuel 25:3
His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.

The Bible does not say Abigale did not love her husband, but she certainly did not love his ways.
She said, "My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent." 1 Samuel 25:25

Abigale however, remained submissive to her husband. She put up with him in agape love. 1 Samuel 25:36, 37; Colossians 3:13

Agape, is stronger than eros, and is the love that allows a person to love a person one may not be attracted to.
So, while a person may not be in love with another (eros), agape love can keep them united in love, and prevent them from sinning against God, by being unloving, unkind, and selfish. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love... bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

A woman (or a man) may choose to obey God , and in obedience to care for their spouse and children as they should as if serving Jesus, as Abigail is a perfect example of.
Abigail did not seek a remedy, but trusted God AND obeyed God.
Women today rarely even want to obey God, same with men,
so they do what God Hates, and that makes God Angry and Sad.
