Marriage at First Sight

Think about the courtship of Amir and Soraya throughout chapters 12-
14, as well as the videos that we watched.

Work together with your partner and answer the following questions:

1. How do you feel about the arranged marriage you have been given in class?

2. Do you think that your personalities match enough to have a long lasting
marriage? Explain why or why not

3. How do you feel about getting married with minimal dating time? Is the love
between Soraya and Amir legitimate if they didnt have a courtship period?

4. How would you deal with the situation if you in Soraya or Amirs shoes? Would
you make the best of it or do everything in your power to escape the traditional
expectations?

5. If you had to choose a mate for your child what qualities would that person
need to have to marry your son or daughter?

Think about the following: (High social status? Good looking? Comes from a good
family? Employed? Etc.):

1. 2.

3. 4.
