		<description><![CDATA[none of my proposals have worked out so far, which is why I am still unmarried. I don't feel too bad about this because I know you have to marry the right person for you, otherwise you end up divorced somewhere along the line! Everyone who proposed asked my father, which I feel is the right way. I had a proposal earlier this year, unfortunately I had to turn him down as further information about him could not be obtained.

Many girls' families these days will not let their daughters get married unless everything is set up perfect for her. This means they want her new husband to have a car, a furnished house, a job and a big dowry for his bride! If the man is wealthy, then of course he will want the best for his new wife, and he will be able to afford it all too. But if he's not wealthy, then these expectations are unrealistic. Nobody should get themselves into debt if they can't do these things.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We Muslims recently celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr. There are a select few in my area who never celebrate Eid on the same day as the majority of others. The mosque that my family attends usually follows Saudi Arabia. Whenever someone over there has sighted the moon, we get a confirmation on the phone, then it is announced [...]]]></description>
