imagine their 'forum' where they talk about our culture in the way we talk about theirs.. they must say stuff like 'we're supposed to be married off young, why do westerners wait until their old, or their families get no benefit from the marriage?'

Yes, I get that. Which also means that we all filter stories like this through our own notions of how society should be. I was using 'suppose' because it had been used in what I was quoting. As a Western woman I find it hard to support any female (or male for that matter) of any age not being able to decide things such as marriage on their own.
