Over our routine breakfast I asked Sarah what the talk I was kicked out of was about. She told me one of the questions asked was whether he, the talker, believed people should know each other before marriage. He said no. I cannot express how much this, I don’t even know what the word is. Upsets? Shocks? It just shook me. There was this girl, Mary-Nana and she got an arranged marriage, to her cousin. Let’s just breeze past that fact, yes in this time, age and especially here in the UK you’d think all this marrying your cousin business wouldn’t really go down, but well. There you go. And he’s a freshie.
Basically she was telling us, her friends, about her engagement and she casually said,
“Yeh we text, but it’s only ‘How are you?’ ‘Okay. You.’ ‘Okay.’ Because you know, our teacher said
nothing personal.”
….nothing personal. Let me explain. Her religious teacher has taught her that she is not to talk
Ok this is an incomplete post but it was talking about something very important..maybe someday I'll find the motivation to continue it.
