They feel by earning their own income they are raising their level of economic independence. They can enjoy themselves more freely with their friends whenever they want. They can travel overseas on business or for holidays , for example, without having to adjust their schedule with that of their spouse. Men like to enjoy their time being single as they can court and become involved with women more freely. They range from the marriage in which the parents try to persuade the son or daughter to marry the one they have picked out to the marriage for which parents, relatives and friends of the family took upon themselves to introduce young sons and daughters to eligible men and women.
Some introductions are more formal while others are quite informal.
The formal and informal meetings of prospective partners are arranged through the networks of relatives, family friends, personal friends, colleagues or bosses at work and business partners. This helps both parties to get to the point quickly, to learn about each other and to discuss the matters in the prospect of marriage without wasting time. Before the meeting is arranged, the individuals involved as well as their families are informed of the background of the prospective partner. This saves the man and woman from the embarrassment of having to ask too many questions about each other's background as well as the kind of partner each is interested in meeting. They are free to pursue the relationship or decide not to court each other after the initial introduction.
