The different culture on marriage (Shota Takemura)

Summary

This article is about marriage under the different culture. As an example, the case of a woman from Afganistan is raised.
She lives in U.S. And, she got married with American. She chose that man by herself. But, her parents refused it, because in Afganistan, woman's marriage should be decided by their parents. Their marriage is not only for women, but also for a whole family.

Comment

In Japan, a long time ago, women couldn't decide their marriage by their selves. Husband should be chosen by women's family.
Women didn't have the right to choose husband and state their opinion. They were looked down by people, especially men. I strongly think women should decide their husband by their selves like nowadays in Japan.
