The article from "Chossing clothes but not husbands" there is a sentences by Ms Mawjzada
"If the girl has a good reputation, the family has a good reputation."
I think that is not true. It all depends all situation. That is part of their culture. they are saying the parents see more than the person see. even though the parents know their relationship by the person with their daughter, they just judge the book by its cover.
I think the parents who keep doing that because of the "Culture or Tradition", that is just being selfish. that's it. good way to keep your family happy is respect them. even though they women or kid whoever, they need to learn understanding and more critical thinking.
it is still big issue in the world because every year, girls killed by their family member. the reason that is because they didn't listen to the elders so didn't make them proud. what is worst is that people in the society don't think it is sort of murder by their own reason.
We need to understand them, however, how can we accept the murder or bad things happening?
daughter or son doesn't represent your family. everyone are part of representive of your family.

Put Reputation before Happiness? (leslie)
It seems that many cultures share the same tradition, the reputation of a family or a woman comes before everything. Whether a son becomes successful in education or in career, or whether a daughter married a promising husband, all brings good reputation to a family. Then that's the end of the story, and no one care whether it is the right choice to the son or the daughter.
Nowadays when "I" is put before "others", this tradition is taken less seriously than before. But still it's not the case of all countries.
