But you must remember we are judging through western eyes. That match may have made the difference between living in a decent manner or abject poverty for that family. It wasnt so long ago that we ourselves hoped for a decent match to marry out of peasantry. We indentured ourselves to leave the country, and we had no say in our lives as women.
