Outline:
1. Briefly describe an inter-racial wedding that you have attended.
2. Give reasons why do you not object to inter-racial marriages.
- A marriage is a couple’s personal affair and no one has the right to object to it.
- The couple will learn about each other’s interesting lifestyles and customs.
3. State the problems that the partners of an inter-racial marriage may face.
- The couple may find difference in each other’s lifestyle intolerable.
- Their children may not know which parent’s to follow.
- More antagonism could be caused between the members of the two races.
4. Briefly conclude that inter-racial marriages would work only if the partners are mature, loving and responsible.
I attended a unique wedding ceremony last year. My aunt, who is an Indian, married an Englishman. The rites and rituals performed were both eastern and western.
Personally, I do not object to inter-racial marriages. This is because I think that marriage is a couple’s personal affair and no one has the right to decide their destiny.
Inter-racial marriages present a couple with an opportunity to learn about the partner’s culture, customs and language. Each would be able to explore the different lifestyle of his or her partner. Moreover, the families and relatives of the couple could be drawn together. This could foster greater understanding and tolerance between the two races.
On the other hand, the differences in culture and customs could become serious barriers to the couple’s happiness. For instance, couples may object to one another’s religious practices or observe customs which the other may not understand or approve of.
Moreover, the children of the couple may be in a dilemma as to which parent’s religion they should follow. In some cases, the couple may just abandon both religions. This may later create a problem of identity for their children.
The couple may have married against their parents’ wishes. This may cause more antagonism between the families and members of their respective races after the wedding.
Therefore, I feel that interracial marriages can be a blessing or curse depending on how the couple is able to handle their marriage. They must foresee the problems mentioned above. Above all, they must be mature, loving, unselfish, understanding and responsible, as partners in any marriage should be.
