Below is an example summary of this reading selection: During a visit to Afghani relatives in Pakistan, seventeen-year-old Saira Shah at first goes along with a plan to arrange a marriage for her. But as she realizes the passivity required of Afghan women, she understands that attempting to reclaim her roots through marriage would be a mistake, and she turns to her aunt to have the arranged marriage called off. Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
