MARRIAGE CUSTOM
A YOUNG MAN AND WOMAN WERE INTRODUCED TO EACH OTHER BY A
"SWAT." HE WAS AN OLDER MEMBER OF A COMMUNITY
(MOST LIKELY A FRIEND OR A NEIGHBOR) WHO SET UP AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE TWO SETS OF PARENTS. THE DATE OF THE MEETING WAS SET
AND THE GIRL PREPARED THE FOOD WHILE THE "SWAT"
BROUGHT THE BOY IN A BUGGY AND ALSO SOME WHISKEY TO
DRINK. THE "SWAT" DID MOST OF THE TALKING
BETWEEN THE COUPLE.
Submitter comment:
AFTER THIS MEETING THE COUPLE WAS CONSIDERED ENGAGED AND
PLANS WERE MADE FOR THE WEDDING.
THIS WAS LEARNED IN RUSSIA.
THIS ITEM IS TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE.

COURTSHIP IN PAKISTAN
IN PAKISTAN, YOUNG PEOPLE NEVER CHOOSE THEIR OWN PARTNER IN
MARRIAGE. THE PARENTS CHOOSE THE PARTNER AND IT IS ONLY WHEN THEY
HAVE BEEN FORMALLY ENGAGED THAT THEY COME TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER,
BUT OF COURSE, THEN THERE IS NOT MUCH CHOICE LEFT FOR THEM.

CUSTOM
JAPANESE MARRIAGES ARE ARRANGED BY CUSTOM. IT IS NOT AN AFFAIR
OF TWO INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES BUT CONTRACTS BETWEEN TWO FAMILIES
(WHO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER BY A MATCH-MAKER OR 'NAKAODO') OF
EQUAL SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL BACKGROUND. SINCE THE AMERICAN
OCCUPATION, THIS CUSTOM HAS BECOME LESS PREVALENT, BUT NONETHELESS,
IS GENERALLY PRACTICED BY THE LARGE MAJORITY OF JAPANESE UPPER AND
OLD FAMILIES.

MARRIAGE CUSTOM: FORMOSA (TAIWAN)
"UNTIL HALF A CENTURY AGO, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN
CHINA HIRED A PROFESSIONAL GO-BETWEEN, USUALLY WOMEN, TO ARRANGE
MARRIAGES BETWEEN CHILDREN. IF THE GO-BETWEEN KNOWS OF A BOY AND A
GIRL THAT WOULD MAKE A GOOD MATCH, BOTH FAMILIES ARE CONSULTED.
IF THEY AGREE, THE BOY'S HOROSCOPE CHARACTERS, THEY ARE CALLED
"EIGHT CHARACTERS", ARE SENT TO THE GIRL'S FAMILY. THE CHARACTERS
ARE PUT UNDER THE FAMILY GOD FOR THREE DAYS, AND THEN CONSULTED TO
SEE WHETHER THEY HARMONIZE WITH THE GIRL'S "EIGHT CHARACTERS".
IF THEY CLASH, THE MARRIAGE IS CALLED OFF WITHOUT ANY DETRIMENT
TO THE GIRL'S GOOD NAME. IF THEY HARMONIZE, A "LITTLE BETROTHEL"
WILL TAKE PLACE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY."
