Usage Examples

[example 1]
"There's an old formal marriage, mepadik, it's true,but Balines have little use for anything that puts off their pleasures if they want to be together. In the mepadik a boy who wants a girl first asks his father's consent. If he approves he goes to the girl's father and finds out what he thinks about it; and then if both agree the boy and the girl meet freely and a priest appoints a day for the wedding. Friends and relatives gather and with merry music they sit and feast until evening, when the girl's carried on a throne to her husband's house while he follows on horseback. The locking of the door behind which they go to bed completes the marriage. "
