[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 547747, member: 1967"] Insane, it is a problem if the girls are given no choices in the matter. And yes, I have a big problem with cultures where girls are considered property to be handed in marriage from one male to another. The Saudis would defend their treatment of women as cultural or religious. That doesn't make it right. I have no problem judging a culture where women are covered head-to-toe in burkas and are not allowed to drive, vote, or leave the house without a male chaperone. If we substituted blacks in for women in the same sentence people would be outraged. For some reason, it is okay for women to be subjugated in the guise of cultural or religious differences. I guess my bias is showing. [/QUOTE]
