The Resignation

• There are three conditionalities


• The first is that the partner should be of
appropriately matched class status, with the
man, if possible in a position of relative
authority or seniority
• The second conditionality is parental approval of the
relationship
• The final conditionality is no pre-marital sex

Making commitments
• Live in relationship does harm
• Escapism from the responsibilities of
family and home
• Elders do not actively intervene

20XX presentation title 11


Hidden Depths

• Problems in arranged Marriage


• Sometimes what seems to be wrong isn't wrong
at all
• Sometimes listening to parents is fine.

20XX presentation title 12


CONCLUSION
• In this story of romantic courtship which was in the women's
Era she talks about multiple and complex trajectories
• We see that one engagement does not have the sacramental
status of a marriage.
• Thus once the marriage has taken place the problem is to
clear misunderstandings and ensuring couple
accommodations with each other
• It is different in the case of engaged couples to decide on
whether and what conditions should the marriage ahead as
planned
