Arjuna already spent a year with her in women's quarters. I don't believe Virat had a choice. It was either Arjuna or his son, no one else could marry Uttara no matter how many times anyone protested nothing happened.
Virat didn't even talk about marrying his daughter to Arjuna because of this reason, He asked Arjuna to marry her and Arjuna suggested his son Abhimanyu marries Virat's daughter. Virat asked him why doesn't Arjuna wish to marry her? It is then Arjuna replied that He treated her like a daughter when he lived there, therefore he can't marry her and there's no difference between a daughter and a daughter in law
Virat doesn't mention what you are saying
And if Arjuna's son had to marry, if not him then it would be Srutakirti, Iravan and Babruvahana, why would Arjuna fix marriage of Krishna's son saying Krishna's son Abhimanyu is like Arjuna?
Subhadra is described as Abhimanyu's mother, unless we incest upon Krishna being his biological father, I don't see how it is possible when the epic is clear about this -
Then Subhadra, the favourite sister of Kesava, gave birth to an illustrious son, like Puloma's daughter, (the queen of heaven) bringing forth Jayanta. And the son that Subhadra brought forth was of long arms, broad chest, and eyes as large as those of a bull. That hero and oppressor of foes came to be called Abhimanyu. And the son of Arjuna, that grinder of foes and bull among men, was called Abhimanyu because he was fearless and wrathful. And that great warrior was begotten upon the daughter of the Satwata race by Dhananjaya, like fire produced in a sacrifice from within the sami wood by the process of rubbing
About Krishna being called Abhi's father because he raised him then Pandu didn't raise his sons, Pandava's real fathers didn't raise them, Pandavas didn't raise their sons, Draupadi didn't raise her sons, Subhadra did, why isn't Subhadra called mother of UpaPandavas? Or why Dristadymya isn't called father of Upapandavas?
"And then Dhananjaya, the son of Kunti, accepted Virata's daughter of faultless limbs on behalf of his son by Subhadra. And that great king, Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, who stood there like Indra, also accepted her as his daughter-in-law. And having accepted her, the son of Pritha, with Janardana before him, caused the nuptial ceremonies to be performed of the illustrious son of Subhadra
Yudi is called Father in law of Uttara too, doesn't make him father of Abhimanyu
So the "Krishna's son" could be Arjuna too
