As you probably noticed in Chapter 9, there are a lot of different types of marriage arrangements (e.g. monogamy, polygyny, polyandry), types of economic exchange (e.g. bridewealth, bride service, dowry), and rules governing exogamy, arranged or love marriages, and many other things! Each culture defines its own rules about what is acceptable and what is not. America, being a diverse society of immigrants, can make things rather difficult for couples from other countries where other types of marriages are acceptable as compared to our own.
