Date:1961

Description:I got married in 1957. My parents arranged my marriage and that was the tradition of those days. Bride and bridegroom had no say in the choice of their partners. Those marriages lasted for a long time, mostly for life.

When I told my wife that I was going to England she was shocked and worried about the future.
