Sorry no; with Aredhel I always got the impression that she was a ridiculous prima donna and a "tomboy wannabe" and only went riding and hunting with Feanor's sons because she enjoyed the attention they gave her. "Hey there Celegorm, I won't give you my heart! But feel free to get me some mead while I relax here."
Just remember that later she was to a degree forced into marriage with Eol and took ages to escape.
My mental picture of Aredhel:

With Maeglin I somewhat agree: Why is okay for Aredhel to fool around with the sons of Feanor (her cousins) but Maeglin can't have Idril?
That being said, Idril did NOT want to marry Maeglin, so it makes the whole point moot. Turgon clearly loved and cherished Maeglin and Morgoth had to use his strongest mind control and torture on Maeglin to get him to betray Gondolin.
