In the Gipsy culture women must follow some absurd rules...
When they are single they can't have sexual relations because they must wait until they get married. They can't cut their hair and they can't go out either.
When a Gipsy woman gets married she has to undergo the "handkerchief testing". In my opinion, this is absolutely appalling and typical of thugs!
A married woman has to live with her husband's family;she has to do all the household chores and she can't give her opinion.
At Christmas or any other celebrations, women can't visit their families, so they have to stay with their husbands' families. Men are the bosses here.
The strange thing about all this is that women are sometimes more machist than men, mainly because their parents teach them that men are better than women since they are children, so they are born blind ! This is an absurd attitude, a male, chauvinist attitude.
But I don't agree..
I'm determined to break these rules; I'm going to show them that a woman can always manage to achieve what she wants.
