More tales from Africa....

Things only get more and more complicated and confusing!!!!

I knew deep down there was a reason why I was'nt 100% comfortable with the set up we have here at the moment = Us here - Paul there... and I could'nt quite put my finger on it ... but all has been revealed... As a married woman you actually don't exist as an individual AT ALL ...

Here in SA if you're married (in community of property as they call it here) you can't do anything without your husbands permission... I can't apply for a bank account...! I can't open my own accounts anywhere...! I can't apply for my son's passport...! I can't rent a property...! In fact I don't think I can breathe without his permission ---- No wonder MEN love Africa so much - gives them this whole Macho image ... makes them feel even more important than they really are .... TALK ABOUT OLD FASHIONED ... er why did those women tie themselves to the railings ????
