Is there a point where one can decide not to do it at the risk of insulting tradition? Should the father always be the one to give away the bride? In the West\, it's common for men to have bachelo r parties before they get married to enjoy their last night of freedom wit h some debauchery. Is this still a good idea? Does it depend on the man? H is wife? The man's friends? The family? What about the custom of kowtowing to one's elders in China? What about circumcision in Jewish culture? The list goes on._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ The truth is it's very easy to look a t another culture's customs and objectively say that it doesn't make sense but when it comes to our own\, our response may be different\, and less o bjective.
