Foriage

In many traditional societies, courtship is a highly structured activity, with well-known rules. In many cultures, courtship is redum, or eliminated altogether, by the practice of arranged marriages, where partners are chosen for young people, typically by their parents. In some societies, the parents or community choose potential partners, and then allow limited dating to determine whether the parties are suited.
