OT now, Was: [Leica] Piercings and Tatoos

[sethrosner at nycap.rr.com (Seth Rosner)]

Really, gentlemen! In every society with which I am passingly familiar where 
arranged marriages are the norm, the wife is expected to be subservient to 
the husband (though in some, the wife manages through subterfuge to have 
some small say-so). Even worse, the prospective husband can survey his 
proposed bride and decide to accept or reject his parents' choice while the 
prospective wife has no such option.

I know we have some list members who are intimately familiar with these 
societies and perhaps they will persuade me that I am not correct. But this 
is my present understanding.
