According to a number of interviews, relationships between young men and women may need to be conducted in secret, until they are ready for marriage.
Sex appears to be a taboo subject.
Normally women's virginity is very highly valued, with the whole family being shamed if she is not a virgin at marriage. To enforce this value, female circumcision is still practiced by some groups, although there have been successful attempts in different areas to remove the practice. Divorce is possible, although in both religions, resolution by family and elders would be attempted before going through the legal system. Inter-religious marriage is not usually tolerated. In the past, arranged marriages were common.
