TOPIC: CULTURAL DIVERSITY - MARRIAGE
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
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 40 years 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 any decisions outside the household. 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
noblewomen 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.
