For how long should a lady be engaged to a man before he walks her down the aisles? This question has become very important given the problems associated with long courtships.

And given the patrilineal nature of our society, it is the lady that loses out most of the time.

There have been many cases of engagements not ending in marriage, and which usually leaves far-reaching consequences for the lady, moreso if it is the man that calls off the engagement.
