"Invitations to Love" provides a close examination of the dramatic
shift away from arranged marriage and capture marriage toward
elopement in the village of Junigau, Nepal. Laura M. Ahearn shows
that young Nepalese people are applying their newly acquired
literacy skills to love-letter writing, fostering a transition that
involves not only a shift in marriage rituals, but also a change in
how villagers conceive of their own ability to act and attribute
responsibility for events. These developments have potential
ramifications that extend far beyond the realm of marriage and well
past the Himalayas.
