NOWADAYS, how is the treatment between young people among friendships and people they don't know? I was talking to an Egyptian friend, and he started talking about the tradition but then he changed the topic. Now I wonder how it's social treatment like currently. I know Muslim women should always use veil among people who aren't family and I assume "for respect" friends shouldn't touch each other, or do any seductive act (though erotic chat may be ok
). So I wonder if there are actually couples, I mean if men have fiancées before marrying. I also assume men choose who to marry, and not their parents, though they could be influenced... Ok. So how is this among islamics?
