Sounds painful.. mother decides about destiny. Will mother be responsible if the daughter is abused, neglected and unhappy? How grateful I am that mom will never do this to me and I am free to decide myself.

In the past, it was common for parents to give their daughters a mate, as relationships were very limited back then, and young women did not have relationships with young men as freely as they do today. And certainly, parents would not give their daughters to just any man without consideration and without knowing the man's family. Whether or not there is happiness in marriage, in my opinion, is never guaranteed, including in marriages where there is no parental involvement.
