Manchester 1966
Even the men are not supposed to before marriage. If they have had girlfriends and families find out then the arranged marriage does not happen in some cases.
But men get away with it as it does not ' dishonour'the family if it was a daughter
Like i said this story does not make sense especially as she has been going out with Gary for so long...would they not have expected something to happen.

No.one knows how someone of a differentOriginally Posted by swmc66
religion will behave in any particular situation
and what the effect of that behaviour will
be on others- unless they have direct experiences.
The same applies to illnesses/disabilities
nationalities etc. and other areas of life.
So they need to speak /consult a trusted
organisation /charity etc that does have
that knowledge! They will know the likely
variations and possibilities.!
But often in soaps they either dont consult
or ignore the info.They write whats most
effective for dramatic effect rather than
whats most likely to happen or would
make sense!
Soaps do have opportunities to broaden
public knowledge but often just mislead.

But this would have been an ideal situation to educate ... start with Gary falling for a musllim girl ... hightlight all the things swmc and others have raised .. like it was said, Gary started dating Ayla a fair while ago .. I would have loved to have been educated more about this

missed/fudged. If they had spoken to
people with knowledge -it could have
been an interesting story!
P.s. swmc has outlined the "traditional"
attitude and also what happens in practice
in some cases. Either scenario would
have been informative-if done within
the remit decided upon.!
But storyline has floundered about and
a lot of confusion about the pregancy that
never was. As Swmc said in another post
there was no need Alya to tell Gary about
one night stand( tho it was honest)
As some of papers say !!! that SB was " sacked"
because of story lines- I did wonder if there
had been a complaint to.ITV about this
story and he was over-ridden and that's
partly why it doesnt seem to make sense!
*I noticed it in Daily Mirror when looking
something else up on Internet. Cant do
link. They also.said cast members cheered
at announcement! Readers of newspapers
make what they will of the contents!
From.the ITV announcement -it sounded
like a sideways move - which is different
to sacking financially & legally.But you
need to be an Employment Law expert
and have sight of contract !
