00:00What are young people supposed to do if not meet each other?
00:02What's the alternative to dating, I ask?
00:04Arranged marriage?
00:06If a young man and a young woman cannot meet as free individuals,
00:11how are they ever going to strike a relationship?
00:14How is that ever going to be formed?
00:16Papa and mummy will do that.
00:18Papa is dating the girl you want to marry.
00:20That's what arranged marriage is about, right?
00:22The girl you ought to marry is meeting papa.
00:25And papa will then decide whether or not the girl can enter your house.
00:28How dignified does it sound?
00:30Meet each other as free men and free women.
00:34Do not meet the other as someone to be exploited.
00:38Do not meet the other as a means of entertainment.
00:42Meet the other as someone who would be helpful to you in your next steps through life.
00:48If you take away that freedom,
00:50what will happen to the most foundational of human relationships?
