In cultures like the African and Eastern cultures, it is a norm for parents to have a compelling say in their children’s relationships to the point of marriage and raising of their kids.
I hate it. I do because it is often not from a place of love or logical advisory but to fulfill their selfish desires. So, it makes sense to say people should be left to love and marry who they want and deal with the consequences or happiness that come from it. Let adults live and learn by adulting!
