re: #147 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Hey now, there’s a lot of good in arraigned marriages! Negotiating your daughter’s future away in return for social or material wealth is far better than letting her go off and get pregnant by some random kid off the street! What kind of father wouldn’t look out for his daughter’s future?

My mother commented on “The Bachelor” that it’s the worst of an arranged marriage, and the worst of a love match, with none of the redeeming features of either.
