14. The text is about a Balinese marriage, but the paragraphs have been mixed up.

A. Discovering what has happened, the girl’s family then pretend to be very worried.
The angry father is supposed to search the surroundings, asking everyone in the
household who took his daughter. Of course, even a close friend who may have
helped the daughter pack her clothes, innocently denies any knowledge of the affair.
B. First, the couple secretly decides to run away, usually to a friend’s house a good
distance from the girl’s village. On the appointed day, the girl is suddenly carried off
by her young man.
C. No matter how couples are married, divorce is not difficult. A man merely reports
to village authorities that his marriage is finished; or if it is a woman, she simply
returns to her home and the children are cared for by the man’s family. However,
divorce does not often occur. If the situation arises, it is likely that a man takes a
second wife, and the first remains as head of the household.
D. In Bali, there is one form of marriage, the negerorod -marriage by elopement –
which is considered exciting for it is preceded by the honeymoon and the man is
considered heroic.
E. Sometimes even a search party is organised, but the shock reaction is all in fun.
Generally the family is well acquainted with the young man and understands that if
their daughter took some clothes, she left by her own choice.
