Task 2 Marriage Customs
Key to Exercises
A. Fill in the blanks to give a brief outline of the talk.
Speaker: Professor Robin Stuart
Topic: Marriage customs in different parts of the world
In the West marriage is a romantic business.
In India arranged marriage is very common. The young couple meet for the first time on the day of the wedding.
In Japan arranged marriages still take place. But the young couple get a chance to have a look at one another and if one of them says 'Oh, no, I could never marry him or her', they call the whole thing off. If they like one another, then the wedding goes ahead.
In parts of Africa polygamy is quite common. A man can have several wives.
Conclusion: Professor Stuart believes that various forms of arranged marriage have just as much chance of bringing happiness to the husband and wife as the Western system of choosing marriage partners.
