i dont get it:

a) they had 7 months to get to know each other.
b) she saw his pic and was excited, pls don't tell me that after 7 months, they are not dying to be intimate -- it isn't human nature! it just isn't.
c) if she wasn't ready, she could communicate to him, and if he respects her, he will wait.

consummation of marriage does not have to be on the first night. i know of so many who waited 1 or 2 weeks, before they could be comfortable in doing that.

what most of us do not agree with is when you DON'T want the guy, and you are forced to marry him.

Forced is different from arranged. Most ladies appreciate that someone is arranged for them, it saves them the headache of finding someone!
