This post is my contribution to the fifth edition of Blogosphèrna organized by the blog 7alla m3ak and whose theme is " the rising age of marriage in Tunisia .
Personally I associate this fact to several levels due to material and moral in the first second.
Material factors:
Marriage is expensive very expensive! Let's do a little calculation with minimum prices for a young graduate student from a modest background who just landed a first job (for the lucky ones) and who wishes to marry :
- Bedroom: 1500 dinars
- Salon: 1000 dinars
- kitchen table (not to mention dining room): 500 dinars
- Ornament " siègha "(otherwise the poor will have to deal with his stepmother" nsibtou ", and it must be better than the cousin who got married last month!): 1000 dinars
- Gifts for the bride: 1000 I do not know how you call it, the mules with white feathers, bags, perfumes, makeup, shower gel, (I find it really ridiculous, dozens of bottles of shower gel) ...
- Party room: 2000 dinars
- cakes and juices evenings: 1000 dinars
- Musical Troupe (fer9a): 1000 dinars
..
Not to mention the rent and security deposit ... 1000 dinars
"Honeymoon": 700 dinars for a few days in a hotel in Hammamet and Djerba for more capricious ...
Ten thousand dinars already! For a young graduate student, is a sum O_o! Know you young men so love to go into debt and work hard to pay their loans and to please their beloved? They are rare these suicide bombers!
moral factors:
The manners have evolved in Tunisia it's obvious there's no picture ... the coup Meriem, salma, Imen and the others are released, they have degrees, hold good jobs, ... it no longer really need a man to bring wheat to the house ...
For his part, Salah, Tunisian man who knows everything, understands everything and is the strongest in all areas (yes that's how HE sees man Tunisia) but has no desire to assume certain responsibilities, has difficulty accepting this "equality", marriage scares him, a wife and children?! He sees it as an affront to his freedom, a mess, a ball ...
On the other hand, Ahmed ago who finds his girlfriend Molka funny and smart but the idea of marrying does not even touch his mind is even out of the question, a girl who speaks and who gives free rein to his desires can never be a good mother! yes the mother of Ahmed called Mehrzia Sallouha or she is not called Catherine! It has often warned at an early age she does not want a "drag" as a beautiful girl!
And then there Marouène who can not find a girl good enough for him, he wants a woman with the measurements of Naomi Campbell, the head of Angelina Jolie and IQ Sharon Stone! Hey Maroo thou hast seen in a mirror? you find yourself that you have the silhouette of Tony Parker ? head George Clooney? or the eyes of John Malkovich ??!!!
Well guys for those who find this last paragraph a bit nasty and cynical (probably because you're identified: p) you can calm your nerves by reading this post our dear Kiffe Grave .

PS: I chose the names in this post completely random.
There is much irony in what I say is true:) but it ' is to say that even if our society is changing in appearance, the background remains the same, it always turns in the same vicious circle of cliches and misconceptions ... So Be carefull ladies and Gentelman;)
