Meglomaniacal streak perhaps?
No, no... it's nothing like that at all... I know my small place in this world very well... and I'm content with it, as long as I'm healthy and young (although I losing my youth, obviously, and I gotta watch myself rot slowly to death, either that or simply die young... I think I prefer the first option, assuming I have any control at all over the matter).
Out of interest, do you have arranged marriages in Saudi? Just wondering whether desi arranged marriage is something that came out of Islam, or from its endemic hindu culture?
I thought you already knew that arranged marriages is a trait of many Eastern cultures, Islamic or non... as for Saudi, it depens on the family, but no matter how liberal, the groom to be can never date his fiancee... the best he can do is repeatedly visit her in her home in the presence of her family members.
Have you seen Godfather? When Michael was betroathed to his Sicilian financee? They were always surrounded with her family members... that's what the most liberal Saudi families can accept.
But I think I haven't answered your question, yet... a man/girl can accept/reject the marriage, again, depending on the family.
