Dating:
In many traditional societies, courtship is a highly
structured activity, with well-known rules. In many
cultures, courtship is made redundant, or eliminated
altogether, by the practice of arranged marriages,
where partners are chosen for young people, typically
by their parents. In some societies, the parents or
community choose potential partners, and then allow
limited dating to determine whether the parties are
suited.
In Japan, there is a type of courtship called Omiai.
Parents will hire a matchmaker to provide pictures
and résumés of potential mates, and if the couple
agrees, there will be a formal meeting with the matchmaker
and often parents in attendance.
The matchmaker and parents will often exert pressure
on the couple to decide whether they want to marry
or not after only a few dates. |
