Of Early Marriages
Posted by omayer Jul 9, 2003 07:27 pm
To what extent must a child continue to say yes to those around him/her, especially when they are brought up in a culture that demands perfection and obedience? It is unfortunate that when many societies hear the words women and Islam in the same sentence they think of Predigest, Unfairness, and sometimes oppression upon women. But sometimes I begin to wonder, what if they are right. What sort of example are we providing when we are forcing our children to marry so young, is it because we feel compelled to abide to the rules and traditions of the past. I my self am not a father nor do i have any plans of entering a marriage any time soon but I would hope that parents would understand that although a child requires assistance in developing into a young adult that some times letting them grow by them selves furthers their understanding of the world and who they are as an individual. Most parent`s idea for raising their children mainly consists of getting an education and once complited that education to start a family, What they should realize is that many young adults are just not ready for the responsibility of marriage
