Do you think it was acceptable for Marilisa to marry Leo even though she wasn't truly in love with him?
I think it was acceptable for Marilisa to marry Leo even though she was not truly in love with him because in this story marriage does not mean the same as in our present-day society. Marilisa thinks that marriage is not forever and you just spend a couple years together before you find someone new. It would not make sense to marry someone you are in love with, when you know that you will leave him/her one day. In this story, Marilisa hopes and thinks about to find a new man after Leo. That's why I think that it was acceptable for Marilisa to marry Leo even though she was not truly in love with him. For the society in this story marriage is not a pact of love, it is just a pact for some years and then you will find someone else. The title 'death do us part' doesn't match the meaning of marriage. Just our society has the opinion that marriage should be forever, until death do us part.
I was very surprise when I read there marriage story because how can you marry somebody if you don't love and leave him/her whenever you like. That's not acceptable to do that, but I happy we don't have this kid of situation now. :)
