Arranged marriage
       Years ago in my country and culture, many marriages were arranged by families. The culture wanted the father of the young girl to choose a husband for his daughter with or without her consent and no matter the husband’s age. At twelve years old, the young girl was sent to her new husband’s family to learn how to live with him, and tried to know each other. Two years later, the marriage was celebrated even if the husband could be her father. Now the question is to know if this kind of arrangement still existed, and how the society reacted then and now.
      I remembered my grand mother told me that she got married when she was twelve years old. She did not know anything about marriage, and everyday she was trying to escape to go back to her family. At that time, my grand father was thirty seven years old, and the marriage was arranged between both families. My grand mother had to obey, and every time she escaped, she was sent back to her husband. Not only my country, many marriages were arranged in many different countries, and back then it was kind of normal. The society did not care whether the girl is in love or not, or wanted to choose her own husband








This picture showed us that in Amish community, this kind of marriage still existed. the family in the young girl in the right, sending away to the husband in her left. I don’t agree with this social behavior, because everybody needs to make his or her own choices, and makes his or her own mistakes.
