Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society. Thousands of<br />
years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was about 40 years old, while<br />
women died even sooner because of childbirth. There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by<br />
having more children while they were still young. The parents lived through their children.<br />
Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most marriages were arranged between<br />
parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the fathers made the decision on whom their childr en<br />
were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely made any decisions outside the household. The fathers<br />
would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more money and land a<br />
girl had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very well.<br />
Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very unlikely that people married outside<br />
their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noble women and became King’s business advisors.<br />
In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married.<br />
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan. Here,<br />
social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged marriages are a sign that people do not<br />
want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an ever-changing world.<br />
