What does marriage mean? The literal meaning of marriage is a state in which two bipeds are to become partners for life, or at least are expected to, and live happily. over half of all marriages in the United States end in a divorce, most people lack the understanding of what it takes to stay married, living so closely to someone, waking up next to them and sharing each meal. Couples should become more aware of the commitment that they are commiting to when they decide to get married. Both parties need to know each far better than just dating, they need to know each other well enough that their wedding vows won't make too much of a difference. Of course not all marriages are made for love or by choice. If there is no love what is the meaning of being a partner in which you are to love the other party. Forced marriage, young girls having to marry an older man for money, being a sacrifice or due to a threat appointed to her family. (not being rude but dude what kind of assigment is this?)
Answer:
"Pitifully"
Explanation:
The word in the excerpt that holds a connotative meaning is "pitifully". The word "pitifully" holds a negative emotion. "Pitifully" means "in a manner that deserves or arouses pity." or "to a very poor or inadequate degree.". In this excerpt, Ruku means that the girl was far too young to be married. Ruku knows what it is like to be treated like an adult at a young age, she was also married young. She feels pity for the girl, being married comes with responsibilities that young girls shouldn't have to worry about. Ruku had been thrown into this new life in a poor village, with not many resources. These girls that are married young often also have children young, giving them even more responsibilities and tasks. The girl should still be doing things children do and not worrying about these things. Ruku feels she is not ready for the life of a married adult.
