    Yes, this is is purely marketing. The goal of marketing/sales-person is to make you feel that you are not *same* as others and so you deserve “my product”, buy it! Using that strategy, they force you to buy two toys. One for son and other for the daughter.

    I believe they get the stings from the priest and tie it on the waist, around neck, or on wrist, etc just to protect from bad omen. Such things are not common in westarn countries but is quite common in asian countries. Similar thing I can think of in westarn world are friendship band, or colored wrist band that some people wear in USA.

    I think it depends on two things. One is since childhood a person is tought by their parents and school that one should not cheat. So most of the people thinks that others do not cheat either. Second when polulation of con men/women increases possibility that others will get conned increases. On the other had if you have more friends and family around then possibility that you get conned decreases because chances of getting right advise increases. If a con men/women gets harshest punishment then I’m sure number of con people will decrease.

    Car comes in compact, medium size, and large size. compact cars are only big enough for teenagers whose weight is about 100 lbs. So men/women buys medium and large size vehicles.

    When Islamic man gets married, he does a contract with is wife. In this contract they decide how much money he should give to his wife in case they get divorce. (Something like prenuptual agreement). This is called ‘Maher’ amount. It could be anything from $1 to couple thousands, or millions if you own oil well? Also to get divorce all husband has to do is to say ‘Talak, Talak, Talak’ to his wife. That’s it. Even if he says by mistake the couple is considered as divorced. Isn’t this is an easy way to get divorce!!! I have heard of cases where husband had divorced his wife over the phone!!!
