In this beautiful, poetic and deeply personal film, Moroccan filmmaker Fatima Jebli Ouazzani investigates the status accorded women in Islamic marriage customs and the continuing importance of virginity. At the age of 18 Fatima defied tradition, leaving home and escaping the likelihood of the same kind of oppressive marriage that had plagued the lives of her mother and grandmother.

I am from Pakistan and i am Muslism. Why this Clip named as Islamic Marriage. They did not talk one word about Islam. It could be culture but not Islam.

@michaelyouth please do your reasearches in pshycology, sociology and religion. Western culture applied arranged marriages aswell ;), that didnt mean it was an aspect of that culture. It means it was social acceptable, and people just copied it, because of confirmity.

And dont send me inboxmessages saying Im a dumb bitch. Or you know what, please do so!.. It only confirms that Im right (I already know I am though) and you have nothing else to say but to swear;)

@SamiraHaouari The exceptions make the rule. You are the exception that confirms the rule. Ofcourse there are parents, who can escape the pressure of the society to arrange a marriage,but it is more the exception than it is the rule. It actually is part of the Morrocain culture to arange marriages, usually among family (second/third generation cousins). However, I see you live in Europe, as I do, so that is the reason that you see it differently.

@michaelyouth either way, the title of this video should be changed. and arranged marriages is not part of moroccan culture, it is part of a parents decision. My family background all grew up in Morocco, none of them have been arranged in marriages. Saying it is part of an my culture is wrong, because arranged marriages can happen everywhere. It all depends on the way your parents have been raised.

@SamiraHaouari It is part of the Morrocain culture, to marry in an arranged marriage ''setting''.

The boy can choose, the girl however isn't usually that lucky. Either you live somewhere else, or you've been misinformed.

@emina951 a lot of people dont understand that there's a difference between culture, religion, and suppression. aranged marriage s definitly a sign of suppression. I am moroccan myself, muslim and thank god I have the freedom of choices in everything I do, and I am independent. There is no moroccan culture involved in his decision, nor there is religion, there is (obviously) only suppression.

i am muslim from a muslim country and no one have arranged marriages every girl and every boy can choose her/his huband/wife and in islam arranged marriages are not allowed in 1st place. and i don't think that these people in the video are muslims!
