      Chapter One The Pilgrimage

      Initially, it was an unspoken pressure that was present when the family gathered, and Naaymah tried her best to ignore it. Over the years, she successfully sidestepped her parent's concerns, and in time, a chasm of understanding grew, the void filled with their expectations and her reality as a single woman .

      Those expectations hung on cultural norms and the fact that she had a younger sister. They wanted her to get married, and Naaymah wanted that as well, so it wasn't that the pressure was not in line with her views. She had been raised to be humble and unassuming, so she didn't share her emotions with her family. She had been looking at her prospects within the community. Unfortunately, they were not attractive. The boys her father would consider suitable were that: boys. She wanted someone who knew what it meant to be a man. She didn't see that in any of the boys in her community, she only saw carefree young men who wanted the status of marriage minus the responsibility. She saw men who didn't know how to respect their parents or elders. Therefore, she held little hope that they would respect their wives.

      The elders within the community said she was an old head on young shoulders. She was from an illustrious family from Baghdad, and she knew better than anyone where her responsibilities lie. She took on her family culture and traditions willingly and enthusiastically. Her family enjoyed a rich reputation because the marriages within the family were usually formed between mutually respectable families. Strategic alliances were formed, and her family was close to the royalty of the past glory years. As the years passed, she realized that the men that this new age produced didn’t care much for providing or fulfilling the requirements of a real man. Men of the current age did not hold their families together. They were happy with the nuclear family arrangements, where culture and tradition eroded. The women were just as guilty, and they had forgotten what it meant to be women. Naaymahs' ideals were simply not
