Turning 32 in June. Born, raised and lived in Iran until 2017 when husband relocated our family to Ireland. New to this platform so I thought a personal-cultural post would be a nice starter.

    1. Was moving to the west a positive change for you?
    2. If you hadn’t been given away, what would have happened to you?
    3. If you were in iran, and had a daughter, would you give her away in the same way?
    4. Do you have any control over your sexual life today? Can you say no?

      1. Yes. The atmosphere is great. Very relaxed. 2. Probably kept going to school and go to university and then marry. Lots of women are in university in Iran but not a lot actually end up working cause marriage and kids. 3. No. As if said it’s a gamble and not willing to take up on it. 4. I could always say no. I said in another comment but the marriage wasn’t actually consummated immediately cause I didn’t feel comfortable and I wasn’t pushed.
