#4  Around six months ago, their parents agreed to get them engaged, but their mothers got into a dispute and cancelled the wedding.

Way to go, moms. No more nasty arguments or wrangling over an arranged marriage for you two. Now you can have the much less demanding task of merely visiting your children's graves instead.

This is nothing more than the predictable outcome of living in an absolutist society. The poignancy of this doomed Romeo and Juliet is only matched by the irony of it happening hundreds of years after Old Bill wrote the play. You'd think people would learn.
