It makes my skin crawl.
This goes on all the time. Everywhere. In different ways, be it ‘arranged’ or forced. That implicit way of ‘arrangement’, where a woman/man feels cornered, if she/he said ‘no’ then what? So she/he does it anyway. “She accepted”. She/he might not have had much of a choice.
One word: education, it’s key. Another word: courage. We need to find the courage to stand up to such ignorance by going against the status quo.
it’s a very beautiful film
so what was the message of this video..?
if women have not seen her man..same case for the man there.
second you are presenting a very old fashioned theme here in the video ..time has changed… very low percentage of such things now a days…
i must say that sana misrepresenting the things..
It was good, though I think it’s interesting it’s titled I accept, I’m assuming it’s telling us that she doesn’t have much of a choice. So had to accept.

“Low percentage”
Where do you live? Somewhere very sheltered by the look of things.
