Oh I. Don't think she would have the right. There is no suggestion that Idril renounced her immortality on marrying Tuor nor Nimloth on marrying Dior who was born of two mortals whatever the bloodline. I appreciate he probably didn't have a hot lineto mandos but think of. Gwindor saying that marriage to Turin would leave Finduilas to a long widowhood. Arwen has the choice because of her heritage not her marriage imo.
