Here is an extract from a radio talk on marriage customs in different parts of the world by Professor Robin Stuart.
Despite the recent growth in the number of divorces,we in the west still tend to regard courtship and marriage through the eyes of a Hollywood producer.
But in other parts of the world,things work differently.
In India,for instance,arranged marriage is still very common.
An intermediary,usually a married lady,learns that a young man wishes to get married and she undertakes to find him a suitable bride.
In Japan,too,arranged marriages still take place.
A girl wishes to find a husband,and the girl's mother,or an aunt perhaps,approaches the mother of a suitable young man and the young couple are introduced.
If one of them says "Oh,no,I could never marry him or her",they call the whole thing off.
But if they like one another,then the wedding goes ahead.
In parts of Africa,a man is allowed to have several wives.
Now that sounds fine from the man's point of view,but in fact the man is taking on a great responsibility.
When he takes a new wife and buys her a nice present,he has to buy all his other wives presents of equal value and,although we are obviously speaking of a male-dominated society,the wives often become very close and so,if there is a disagreement in the family,the husband has three or four wives to argue with instead of just one.
Now,most listeners,being used to the Western style of courtship and marriage,will assume that this is the best system and the one with the greatest chance of producing a happy marriage.
But pause and reflect.
Marriage must always be something of a gamble.
It is true that American women,brought up in the United States,who married Africans and went to live in Africa,have sometimes found it exceedingly difficult to assume the role of the wife of an African living in Africa.
However,my observations have led me to believe that various forms of arranged marriage have just as much chance of bringing happiness to the husband and wife as our Western system of choosing marriage partners.

这里是一个提取从一个电台清谈对婚姻习俗在世界不同地区所教授罗宾斯图尔特.
尽管最近的人数的增长离婚,我们在西方国家仍然倾向于把求爱和婚姻透过眼睛一个好莱坞制片人.
但在世界其他地方,东西不同的工作.
在印度,例如,包办婚姻仍然是很普遍的情形.
一个中介,通常是一个已婚的女士,得知一名年轻男子要结婚,她承诺会找到他一个合适的新娘.
在日本,也包办婚姻仍然发生.
一个女孩希望找到一个丈夫,女孩的母亲,或姑姑,或许办法的母亲,一个合适的青年男子和年轻的夫妇介绍.
如果其中一人说: “哦,不,我不能结婚,他或她” ,他们呼吁整个事情小康.
但如果他们想一另一个,然后婚礼继续进行.
在非洲部分地区,一名男子是允许有几个妻子.
现在听起来罚款由该名男子的角度来看,但事实上,该名男子正在对一重大的责任.
当他需要一个新的妻子和买她的好,目前,他已购买所有他的其他妻子介绍了同等价值的,尽管我们显然在谈到一个男性主导的社会,妻子往往会成为非常密切,所以如果有是一个分歧,在家庭中,丈夫有三个或四个妻子争辩,而非只是一.
现在,大多数的听众,被用来西方的作风,求爱和婚姻,会以为这是最好的制度,和一个与最大的机会,产生了幸福的婚姻.
但停下来思考.
婚姻必须总是有一个赌博.
这是事实,美国妇女,带来了在美国,谁结婚,非洲人和到住在非洲,有时发现它极其难以承担的角色的妻子,一个非洲生活在非洲.
不过,我的意见,促使我相信,各种形式的包办婚姻有一样多的机会,造福于丈夫和妻子,作为我国西部的制度选择婚姻伙伴.
