Marriage/fan ...

What is Marriage?

Based on Britannica as follows:

Marriage a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman, that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring (if any). The universality of marriage within different societies and cultures is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions for which it provides structure, such as sexual gratification and regulation, division of labour between the sexes, economic production and consumption, and satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status, and companionship; perhaps its strongest function concerns procreation, the care of children and their education and socialization, and regulation of lines of descent. Through the ages marriages have taken a great number of forms.


I came across a married couple and by end of the year they are expecting their first new child. They haven’t agreed on naming the child if it is a boy.

They both don’t want to name him by their father’s name but the man wants to name him on his wife father’s name. their reasons are the same (repeated name in the family). He’s response “I am the one who will register the name in the birth certificate and you just carry the baby for nine months.” he repeated the same sentence several times and I was shocked to hear that. I tried to convince him that they should agree together on one name but he refused.

I realised that he was ignorant and didn’t respect his wife at all. He also didn’t understand what is marriage all about. He’s understanding is sex, have kids and bully her; and the history is repeating.



I don't know them..
Another incident of the same man, he took his childhood photo off the family frame, he didn’t want his in-laws to see it, he is either embarrassed about the photo.

My conclusion, he is embarrassed from his family and him self too. He is in confidence.



A fan of Abdullah Al Amadi
I have recently became addicted to articles written by Abdullah Al Amadi, a Qatari article writer in Al Watan, an Arabic Omani newspaper, he inspired me allot.
