ENGAGEMENT PRACTICES IN MEXICO
THE BOY WHO WISHES TO GET ENGAGED TO A GIRL COMES TO THE GIRL'S
HOUSE TOGETHER WITH HIS FATHER AND HIS PRIEST, THE BOY THEN ASKS
PERMISSION TO BE ENGAGED TO HIS GIRL. THE FATHER THEN MAY CONSENT
OR NOT, IF HE DOES, THEN HE WILL SET A TIME LIMIT IN WHICH THE TWO
MAY BE MARRIED. THIS MAY BE A MONTH OR A YEAR AND A HALF.
