Marriage is a wonderful institution designed by God. It is really a mystery how two people from different parents come together as one. When two people fall in love, no amount of pressure can stop them and if eventually they are stopped, it is always very disastrous.
I happen to come from the Eastern part of the country where there is so much being done wrongly in marriage. I can confidently say that only a few marriages in the East are based on love. This is because as a girl is growing, there is someone, probably a family friend she is reserved for. Her opinion does not matter as she is told that she will get to love the man as they begin to live together. What a pity!
Even the matured ones don’t get married because they are in love. They get married because that man can take care of the family or because age is not on their side. I have seen very beautiful girls from my village age in their parents’ house. This is not because they were not what the society would have them be, but because they fell in love with total strangers and their parents were against the relationship.
It is really sad seeing parents in this generation still pushing their daughters into wrong marriages. This is one reason why the rate of divorce is very high. Two people who have nothing in common and are raised with totally different outlook are forced to become husband and wife.
