Caren and Joel have been dating for the last three years, and they have now reached a point where they feel that their relationship should grow to another level. Joel made the arrangements for Caren to visit his rural home and meet his parents. To their surprise, Joel's parents rejected Caren flatly the moment they learned of her tribe.

"We don't marry outside our community," said Joel's dad. "They are in their own political camp, and it has been like that since independence."
