“Engagement” is a non-Islamic concept imported to many Muslims. It serves a placeholder role for long wedding planning preparations.

Everyone has to get out of their rooms first... Remember most SCers don’t get enough sunlight. I don’t want to meet anyone here. I like the virtual anonymous profile separated from physical life. A more interesting question is, have I ever been in close proximity to a ShiaChat member (or even met), but neither of us knew we were members?

These are mechanisms that predate the word “capitalism”, and are not exclusive to it. Capitalism is not simply private transactions, it’s a social system where the culture is primarily subjected to the forces of capital. Anyway, we’re way off topic.
