| Description | The person who speaks explains courtship. Couples used to keep a great distance, and they talked to each other with their backs to each other and did not see each other face to face. Sometimes the parents proposed the bride they preferred and gave her to their son, because the young man obeyed, and the mother said to her daughter, “give yourself to him.” But now it is not the same, and young people seek those they prefer, they talk on the street, they already kiss. In the past, they did not kiss and they did not embrace. |
