My opinion really doesn’t have to match yours but here is a real life story (a summarized version minus the drama) to prove my point.
“Ish was raised by very reserved parents. And in her parents opinion a girl really doesn’t need to go out side and it is better for them to stay home to protect them from the outside world, so Ish did what she was told to do. As a result she was a bit socially awkward at times when she went out with her friends or at school.
At age of 15 most of her friends started to date and to fit in she also did the same. She didn’t think much nor did any research on what type of guy it was. What she only knew was he comes from a normal family, very social and hangs out with the cool kids. They were 2 years apart. Any sort of interactions between them was via telephone until she finished her school.
By that time her parents also started to accept the relationship. He had manners and really got along with her family members. The problem was that he hangs out with the hip crowd with a bad reputation and doesn’t have a stable job. Anyways they kept going with their relationship for years until he came up to her and confessed that he is into drugs. So for the relationships sake she decided to forgive him until her parents found out so it came to an end.”
Why didn’t she know by her self that he is an addict before he confessed after so many years?
Some parents think that locking their daughters from outside world really protects them but the truth is they are less aware of what happens outside world. The above story could have been different if she was aware of the outside world and was able to recognize these kinds of people. I am not saying that you should send your daughters where ever they want to go but let them see for them selves what’s going on.
What did she loose or gained in the end?
She spent most of teen years with this guy with no future while she could have been a regular teenager just enjoying her youth. However she had to learn the hard way that appearances can be deceiving and also to make better choices in life ahead.

Not entirely, right huh.
You said she spent most of the teen years with the guy. So she was out and about spending time with her. Its the teen years that one learns of the twists and turns and the recent cruelty which descended upon the Maldivian society.
Maybe she was a bit thick, or just refused to accept that he was into drugs, that happens, women fear to break off a relationship
i get what ur tryin to say here...but i dont think uv succeeded
Thank you for your views Anonymous 1 2 3
I have to agree with your comments 1 and 2. Teen years are the days most learn about the
cruelty of the society and yes maybe she was thick or had the fear of being alone.
And for anonymous 3 Im glad u got wat i tried to say. No personal or hidden agendas behind it.
Have a good day :D
in my experience i have found that it has more to do with protecting the image of the parents' in front of society than actually protecting the kids from "whats out there". although im sure there are parents who solely do so for the sake of their children. it is worth a note however, the way society spins webs of indifference and complacency to its most pressing issues.
