-Families:
In rural areas, parents often arrange marriages for their children. A young man may
want a young woman, but his father decides whether she is suitable. A go-between
often is appointed to investigate the woman's family background. If the father finds the
family satisfactory, he sends the go-between to deliver kola nuts to the woman's
parents. The parents accept the kola nuts if they approve of the young man.
