When Parents Choose A Partner For Their Child

Adult childrenmust have the freedom to choose who they want to be with.

- Vincent Phahlane

THERE is a saying that parents always know what’s best for their children. In the olden days, parents were responsible for choosing partners for their children. Times have now changed but many parents still find it hard to let go and let their children make their own choices, especially when it comes to relationships.

According to Pertunia Nkosi, a social worker supervisor based in Germiston, the reason for such behaviour is that some parents are overprotective of their children.
