This isn't an attack on your culture, simply curiosity.. I know that sort of thing happened in history, but does that still go on today? 'Cause... you know... scientists now know that the man determines the baby's sex, not the woman. [/QUOTE]Yes, this thing still goes on. That's why at the age of 27 I still reluctant to marry my gf or the girl my parents want me to marry. Being in a extreme tradisional and status minded family I know things will be very tough for my future wife if she can't "perform" to my parents expectation.
