MARRIAGE
- HAS A VITAL ROLE IN VIETNAMESE CULTURE
AND TRADITION;

In the past, most marriages were arranged by parents

or extended family and children might only sometimes
be consulted. The groom and bride may have only met
on the day of the engagement.

Now, this has changed in modern Vietnam. Single girls

and boys can meet each other before the wedding and
arrange marriage by themselves. Parental permission
is not as important as in the past.
