The conflict:
Emirati families don’t allow their daughters to choose who they want to
marry, so women go to the court to help them marrying in the right ways.
World-views:
The conflict represents two world-views, honor-shame and power-fear. I think
it’s fair enough to let women choose their husbands just like men, they have
the right to choose and so do women. Some families and tribes think that they
can control their daughters’ life and choices, but in fact they can’t. If a
girl point out that she wants a specific guy, people will say that she doesn't
have manners. Families and parents should understand that it’s not a shame to
let their daughter to choose, at least she will do it with their knowing. It takes
a big courage for a woman to disobey her family, and go to court to say what
and who she wants. I support those brave girls.
