Arab youngsters in Israel to
the "mohar" system, which
obliges the bridegroom to
pay to the bride's parents a
certain sum of money when
arranging the wedding.
The position of the Arab
woman in Israel has under-
gone a strong change during
recent years under the
influence of Israeli society.
Many ideas, perceptions
and customs have vanished.
The Arab woman tries to ac-
custom herself to the mod-
em woman.
A young Arab girl told us:
"I am already over 20 years
old and have not married
yet, because my father de-
mands a large sum from the
future husband. Besides, he
does not wish that I leave
the house. He has big gar-
dens and does not wish to
lose a worker who is doing
the job without getting paid.
Many young men come to
our house and wish to marry
me, but my father drives
them away with his high
mohar demands."

This shows how the
father in the Arab family
still decides the future of
his children. "I wish to
marry and leave my
father's house, in order to
prove that I have some

worth of my own, but the
situation is difficult" the
girl told us.

In the Arab parts of the
country nobody asks the fu-
ture bride whether she likes
her future husband or not.
What counts is the position
of the future husband and
the amount of "mohar"
which he has to pay. There-
fore, there are many di-
vorces among Arab
families. The parents do not
accept as yet the principle of
first taking into considera-
tion the future of their chil-
dren and only afterwards
their own material advan-
tages to be gained from the
marriage.
Arab divorce customs do
not take proper regard for
the status of the woman.
The husband can simply
send her away from his
house and take another
woman into the house in
stead of her. In Israel,
bigamy is forbidden by law,
but in the Arab countries a
man can have a number of
wives in his house.
In recent years, many
Arab women began to work
outside the home and be-
came more independent.
Many of the women are
working in factories. They
are happy to meet other
people and learn that mod-
em life confronts them with
new conditions. In the vil-
lages, women who work are
still considered as function-
ing against Arab tradition,
customs and morals. But as
time goes on, hundreds of
Arab women are joining the
work force.

Arabs work together.
The Women's Organiza-
tion of the Histadrut,
Naamat, is doing a great
deal to organize workshop
courses for Arab women,
many of whom have never
visited schools and do not
know how to read and write.
These women are being

educated to fight for their

rights in the Arab society.

Many Arab girls are
going to schools. Some
are studying in univer-
sities. In almost every vil-
lage there is a youth club.
But the evolution is slow.
It is hard for the
youngsters to break with
tradition which has
lasted for centuries and
generations.

The concepts of modern
society are adopted slowly
but successfully. Even the
older generation in the vil-
lage has begun to under-
stand that they cannot keep
their children at home like
house animals.
The young Arab men be-
lieve they can act more
freely towards women who
are working outside their
homes. Most intelligent
girls know how to treat men
and how to keep them at
proper distance. But there
are also girls who misinter-
pret their freedom and use it
in a naive manner.
Meetings with Jewish Is-
raeli youngsters have a
strong influence on Arab
youths. These take place in
Histadrut clubs, on the
campuses of universities
and in workshops and fac-
tories where Jews and
