I’m not sure what policy suggestion AA was making. I thought that you thought he was proposing forced marriages. What do you think he was proposing?
And of course, a lot of pressure is put on men to go into arranged marriages, but at the end of the day they do have a little more freedom, as if it comes down to violence they are more able to defend themselves. And that’s a possibility—I have heard an girl of Indian decent say “I can’t be forced into marriage because I have no male relatives and I could take my mum in a fight.”
