Marriage Is a Private Affair

Marriage should definitely be a private affair no one should tell you who you should marry, what religion that person needs to be or even that that person should have any religion at all to marry you. Sometimes people blinded by their religious beliefs or traditions judge other people like Okeke in Marriage Is a Private Affair judging Nene for being from another group or tribe and having different religion and a different lifestyle. I believe marriage should be kept a private affair between the couple because that way no one could interfere with whom someone loves besides they are the ones who are going to get married and live together till death do them apart, sometimes people meddle in things they shouldn't like in the story, Okeke shouldn't have judge someone for not being the same as him, personally I believe that religious beliefs and tradition should be respected but until a certain point, as long as it doesn't interfere with someone else's happiness or true realization. Okeke is the classic stubborn, closed-minded, old fellow who wouldn't change his beliefs for the world which is wrong, sometimes religion beliefs and tradition are not everything and aren't always right, sometimes being a little flexible and a bit open-minded could change your world, the world of your loved ones in a positive way and maybe even let see the people surrounding you that you are not an ogre who only thinks about himself.
