The path to marriage is lined with a variety of requirements, obstacles, and ceremonies.(46). Marriage is too important for such casual arrangements. Marriage is the approved social pattern whereby two or more persons establish a family.(47). Every society has, therefore, developed a pattern for guiding these marriages.
To Americans, it is shockingly wrong that parents should arrange and compel the marriage of two persons who may never even have met.(48) Our reaction illustrates the usual error of ethnocentrism—assuming that people of another culture will think and feel as we should think and feel if placed into their situation. It overlooks the fact that most people wish and feel only what their culture trains them to wish and feel. We think of marriage as a romantic adventure with a person we have come to love. The girl in ancient China, about to enter an arranged marriage with a stranger, eagerly looked forward to her marriage as a desirable status and a comfortable companionship with a man she would come to love, because he had been wisely chosen by her parents.(49).
Every society limits choice in marriage by requiring that one choose a mate outside his or her own group. In our society, the prohibition applies only to close blood relatives.(50) Many societies extend the circle of the prohibited group to forbid marriage within the village, or sometimes even the tribe.
A.It involves not only the conceiving and rearing of children, but also a great many other obligations and privileges affecting many people.
B.And these are what we all known about the marriage.
C.How do they know they will love each other? ~
D.Rare is the society which simply allows a couple quietly to pair off and start living together.
E.Today, of course the Chinese family is changing rapidly.
F.One may not marry his sister, first cousin, and certain other close relatives.
