Produktbeschreibung
This book highlights the vital role of parents in guiding marriages in traditional Igbo society, acting as social regulators like police or courts. Their absence in modern marriages contributes to rising issues like child abuse, domestic violence, and divorce. In novels like Efuru by Flora Nwapa, Efuru's failed marriage stems from ignoring parental guidance. Similarly, in Ama Ata Aidoo's Anowa, tragedy strikes due to rebellion against parental advice. Conversely, in One is Enough, Amaka overcomes marital struggles with her mother's support. Parents often provide emotional stability, preventing tragic outcomes seen in characters like Anowa and Kofi Ako. Achebe's Things Fall Apart also shows how parental intervention calms marital conflict. As marriage shapes a nation's development, African youth must value parental advice. Imitating Western marriage ideals, with high divorce rates, is harmful. Teaching African traditions in schools could reconnect youth with their cultural values and help reduce marital breakdowns in contemporary society.
