Arranged marriage

family had a long history that could date back centuries do to the long age of most ninetales. Change was a hard thing to come by in this family, tradition was key. One of these traditions was how Natalia’s parents met, Conrad and Sylvia. An arranged marriage was formed between the two ninetales from a young age. It wasn’t until their late teens that they would finally meet. They had no real connection at first besides the…

parents themselves were not arranged marriages, they mentioned in their interview, in response to my question about how the concept of self-disclosure played a role in their lives, that those people that were and are in arranged marriages are given what they call a “biodata” of each others height, education background, family background, and other basic things that only addressed a person’s physical attributes. They said that their friends who made it through the arranged marriage all these…

contradicting views on marriage, about whether it’s necessary or not. Personally, I think that marriage, although it isn’t necessary, is romantic and symbolises that a relationship is strong, thought I recognise that in some cases, that’s not true. At the same time, I don’t think that it’s mandatory for people to get married, because our society today is ever changing, so even though it was the norm 20 years ago, it’s more widely accepted to live alone or to start a family without marriage…

Most people don’t realize that forced marriage does not just happen to girls. In 2014, women were involved in 79% of cases, compared to men, who were only involved in 21% of cases (“Statistics”). Since the difference between the two is so great, is there a huge difference in why men are less targeted than women? Azad is a young, Turkish man, and his real name has been changed to keep his identity safe. Ever since Azad was a small child, his parents expected him to marry one of his first cousins.…

women will take the last name of the people they are going to marry. I think that it is assumed that that the women will take the last name of the man and not the other way around because it is thought that the husband is the masculine part of the marriage. In the past, it was thought of as a women’s father giving them over to the new husband. This can be evident at weddings when the father of the bride walks the bride down the isle. I think that this concept has just become such a social norm…

With assisted marriages, since parents know their child best, it is the parent’s job to find their kids a spouse. Those that were going to be married were able to voice their views on what they wanted. Although arranged marriages tend to be more successful than that of regular relationships (Kolker 71) honestly I have never liked the idea of an arranged marriage so I can’t agree with this custom at all. In my opinion I believe that humans…

Their marriages augmented, their habits conserved- this is the principle upon which the family home is built. Children are brought up to protect the same values. All is well as long as they fall in line. For those who rebel, justice is swift and accurate: knives…

of the time artist make songs based on what’s going on at the time. In 2014 when pop group MAGIC! Released the song “Rude” it made a statement as to how the younger generation may think of marriage. When a father came out with his own version of the popular song, he reached what older people may think of marriage, and how one should go about it. The differences between “Rude” by MAGIC!, and the parody by Benji, and Jenna Cowart are, age, the tone, and what the father wants for the daughter. In…

When asked why women need to be confined at home, Syed Ghayasuddin, a Taliban Minister of Education stated, "It 's like having a flower, or a rose. You water it and keep it at home for yourself, to look at it and smell it. It [a woman] is not supposed to be taken out of the house to be smelled." With this quote, one get’s a glimpse of what the mind of a male who lives within the sexist roles taken upon people in Afghanistan before and during the reign of the Taliban is like. When looking at a…
