Read the passage from A Wife for My Son.

Houria had been silent throughout but each and every word of the conversation was engraved in her memory; she would not dare give her opinion; as a general rule what the father did was right ... but why force Fatiha now? Why not wait a while longer? There was no rush.

Based on this passage, what can be inferred about Houria’s feelings about her daughter’s marriage?

A. Houria is eager to begin the celebration of the marriage of her daughter.

B. Outwardly, Houria supports the marriage, but inside, she feels sorry for her daughter.

C. Houria is uncomfortable talking about the marriage with her daughter.

D. Outwardly, Houria is upset about the marriage, and she is eager to find an alternative for her daughter.

Houria was having many words to say about her daughter and her marriage but she could not because she did not have much courage to say it. ''She would not date give her opinion''.

She believed and knew that she must go along with the rules that the father gave her but deep inside she was sorry for her daughter because her daughter was forced. ''But why force Fatiha now?'' We can assume that her daughter was very young when she was forced to be married.
