Church values arranged marriages among South African youth

Social media users noticed that a bride seemed uneasy as she modelled her arranged marriage in front of her congregation. The newlyweds showed underwhelming gestures as their church celebrated their unity.

South Africans disapproved of the pressure placed on young people to marry at a certain age. Social media users shared their thoughts and beliefs on why people should not be forced into finding a lifelong partner as real love is seldomly found in those kinds of relationships.

The church has a new bride in every posted video where women of the congregation wish to resemble as they too hope to find Mr Right. Arranged marriages are still popular in the villages where the elders meet to find a damsel a suitor.
