Heart-Shaped Keys

“While customary in many nations for a man to initiate courtship with a woman, it is tradition in Farah for women to propose marriage to their suitors.

When a Farahni woman is ready to wed, she gifts her suitor a heart-shaped key tied with a pink or red ribbon. After consideration, the suitor ties a second ribbon to the key and returns it; the color of the new ribbon signifies the answer.”
