* Read the passage below and answer the questions
In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages were
generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In
the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their
engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based
on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite
illegal.
