Yes, when you have had freedom all your life, it is hard to imagine the extreme opposite and especially the fact that it is the norm in some parts of the world. Indeed we are lucky and it is very sad to know of these circumstances in the world. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. A very powerful quote and I remember well reading that scene!

Some may have traditions similar to arranged marriages, a concept seldom practiced in the United States. Quote:
