To be or what to be for a woman?
I have wondered about your strange custom to bring the bride to her future husband at church. Have you thought about how it might be viewed by a person from an old democratic culture? One can get the idea that the woman is legally incompetent both before marriage and within the marriage. The women in the United States and England, do they not choose their husband herself? How can this horrible custom survive in a country that claims to be democratic with equal value? Keep in mind that this habit goes back to the days when the woman was and remained incapacitated her entire life?
