“Choosing clothes, but not husbands” - This short story is about the woman in Afghanistan, who can’t be the one to decide for their own marriage life. It’s not a new topic, but it has been what people kept discussing for a very long time. With a feudal systems in mind, people in these country believed in arranged marriage, and woman doesn’t have any right to choose her husbands on her own. The world is becoming moderner, women everywhere is having a demonstration about equal right, but even somewhere in New York, the capital of the world, some women still couldn’t be with the person she loves. To be fair, this matter may vary upon each individual, some can feel satisfied listening to her parents, as they are more experienced and may know what’s good for their child. Marriage is a lifetime decision and a woman may have to sacrifices a lot to please their parent’s decision. One of the examples of this was Ms. Naderi. Ironically, she married to the man she shoes on her own, which makes her mom and her grandma not speak to her for ten years. “My mother still tell me that she can’t look at people because they know her daughter married in this way” said Ms. Naderi. It just sounds really sad to me, and in the end, I blame i on the society. It’s so outdated that it has put so much pressure on the reputation of the family, leading to all this tragic situation.
