83:2.3 An early type of [[wedding]] [[ceremony]] was the mimic flight, a sort of [[elopement]] [[rehearsal]] which was once a common [[practice]]. Later, mock capture became a part of the regular wedding [[ceremony]]. A [[modern]] girl's pretensions to resist "capture," to be reticent toward marriage, are all [[relics]] of olden [[customs]]. The carrying of the bride over the [[threshold]] is reminiscent of a [[number]] of [[ancient]] [[practices]], among others, of the days of [[wife]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft stealing].

83:2.4 [[Woman]] was long denied full [[freedom]] of self-disposal in marriage, but the more [[intelligent]] women have always been able to [[circumvent]] this restriction by the clever [[exercise]] of their [[wits]]. Man has usually taken the [[lead]] in [[courtship]], but not always. Woman sometimes [[formally]], as well as [[covertly]], [[initiates]] marriage. And as [[civilization]] has [[progressed]], women have had an increasing part in all [[phases]] of [[courtship]] and marriage.

83:2.5 Increasing [[love]], [[romance]], and [[personal]] selection in premarital courtship are an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andite] [[contribution]] to the world races. The [[relations]] between the sexes are evolving favorably; many advancing peoples are [[gradually]] substituting somewhat [[idealized]] [[concepts]] of [[sex]] [[attraction]] for those older [[motives]] of [[utility]] and ownership. [[Sex]] impulse and [[feelings]] of [[affection]] are beginning to displace cold [[calculation]] in the [[choosing]] of life [[partners]].
