    Culture & Tradition


    He had reminded her that one of the most important things in life was the opinion of others, particularly ones equals and seniors. Though she was only a young girl she must try to act with suitable dignity. He went up to her and gently patted her cheeks in a fatherly, reassuring gesture that he was often to repeat during their time together. And the beautiful little girls still at secondary school? Putting the ring away in his pocket, he bent over her and with both hands gently patted her on the cheeks. Pride and dignity Dignity is a big factor in the culture. Women are lowered in society. The father speaks for her.

    Abboud Bey took dignity and pride over what was the right thing to do.
