Salam,

I think Lisa is right on the money when talking about the language translation deficiencies that occurs when trying to understand customs, traditions celebrated within the diverse islamic culture. I faced a situation trying to explain my collegue how the phrase "Arranged marriage" really should be "facilitated marriage" because it clarifies, and broadens the whole matrimonial process which in Islam, involves heavy duty, no-nonsense, serious consideration of all issues before any commitment.
