Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in

society Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today A man usually lived

until he was about 40years old,while women died even sooner because of childbirth There were many wars and illnesses,and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young The parents lived through their children

Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal Most

marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young It was the custom that the fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry The mothers had little say

in it since they rarely made anydecisions outside thehousehold.The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well Therefore, it was important that her father choose the

bridegroom very well Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too It was

very unlikely that people married outside their social class A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noble women and became King’s business advisors In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married

The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept Often, however,

arranged marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and

security in an ever-changing world
