Re: Forced versus arranged marriages - our take on it
This might not seem like its a problem among certain circles but those circles are usually connected with others and so on. You have to reach who you can and even a single effort goes a long way.
You have no idea who is going through what and when your words will make a difference. I have seen educated people say the most ignorant things in the name of religion…you would laugh if you heard them. I have had some aunties surprise me with a thought process of someone much more “modern” for lack of a better word right now.
I think its every person’s responsibility as a member of society to create awareness for such issues. Especially women who know better. We make it acceptable or unacceptable as a whole.
Society IS responsible…it has to be responsible because if its not…then who is?
