Arrange Marriage

Today's Moodle Session!

Being in a free country, it's hard to put Shastri's situation in my shoes. In the Philippines, during the time of my great grandparents, once you made contact with an opposite sex, you have to get married. Such tradition exist for a reason, which I don't know.

Maybe Shustri is having a hard time dealing with her situation. But we can't blame her parents for feeling disappointed as well.

Hello :)

I can relate to your point about the Philippines. It's so popular, but I am not sure if it's going on until today. Perhaps in the province, what do you think?

Have a happy weekend!

Although the contact with the opposite sex means marriage in the old times, I still feel the pressure of that.

For example, I can't ride alone, be alone with the opposite sex until I'm married.

It's still going on.

I'm not quite sure. I grew up in the city, so such things don't apply.

I feel the same way about not knowing how it would feel to be in Shastri's shoes. You are right about her parents as well.

My opinion on this assignment was I feel that if these traditions are used today or in this generation then such traditions should be honored.

Good job! See you in class on Tuesday and Good luck on the test.
