Marriage: Arranged, for Love and Otherwise in EuroQuest Read the full description.

Rnlogoenglish_small Segment 1 - Is Underage Marriage Roma Culture or Crime? Gyula and Marika are a Roma couple who, atypically, married for love. That alone makes them unusual within Roma society. What makes them near outcasts is their work to end child marriage. Gyula and Marika took Frank Browning into the normally closed Roma society; to talk about that which is, most of the time, not open for discussion. Segment 3 - Holland Tries to Block Immigrants from Importing Brides The Dutch government feels going abroad for a wife is a major obstacle to successfully integrating into Dutch society. Saskia van Reenen tried to find out what happens when politics tries to intervene in matters of the heart, when she went deep into Morocco's remote Rif Mountains, where she encountered a few prospective brides. Segment 3 - Largest Indian Wedding Fair Outside India For British Asians planning a traditional Asian wedding, help is at hand in the form of an Asian wedding fair held in London and Birmingham every year. It offers every kind of tip and service you can imagine. It's the largest South Asian wedding fair outside of India - Louise Williams caught up with the fair in London. Segment 4 - The Least Romantic Book in the World The Franco British neuro-scientist, Lucy Vincent has written a book called "Comment devient-on amoureux?" or "How do we fall in love". Vincent argues that all love, whether between a lover or a parent and a child, is all based upon a chemical hormone called oxitosin. RFI?s Cordelia Hebblethwaite has the unromantic details from Paris.
