"...When a boy and a girl are ready for marriage, the boy would ask for permission and blessing from the girl's parents. Her parents will give the boyfriend a set of 'Courtship Trials,' where he is given a test of strength and wisdom to prove he is more than ready, willing and able to carry out his role as a husband and a father."
[She took a breath.]
"The tests are never harrowing. If the boyfriend fails, he is free to try again at any time."
