Marriage Rituals

Chike’s father, Amos, who is a Christian gets heavily criticized for marrying Sarah who is an Osu in the Nigerian culture. Even though Chike's family behaves in the same rituals as an upper class Nigerian family, many neighbors and over people condemned them mainly due to the fact that Amos, the father, is now considered partially Osu, for marrying Sarah. Part of them being condemned was being pronounced as 'untouchable' to the kids of the Nigerian family. That was a little disappointing to read about, because although the same rituals may not be in place today, but just because two people want to get married that shouldn't ruin the whole reputation of a family all the way down to the children as well. I was glad that despite the hatred the family received, they still lived their lives the way they wanted.
