In the good old days, marital unions were mostly arranged. Those days, boy did not just meet girl, like it happens in movies and books. She was delivered to him, in his father’s homestead. Perfect strangers who did not even know that the other existed were introduced and by evening, they were banging away like rabbits.
There was no time for the luxury of getting to like one another, courting or even attempting to fall in love. An aunt would spot a girl, determine her to be a perfect fit for her brother’s son and proceed to betroth her. Another one, living far away from home, would actively look out for a suitable suitor for her brother’s daughter, if only to have a close relative close by.
