23 May 2010 - The crown
princess of Sweden has upset church leaders by announcing she wants to be given away by her father when she marries next month. Swedes consider the practice sexist. Traditionally, the bride and groom walk down the isle together, as symbol of the future spouses equality. The archbishop of the Swedish Church has taken the unusual step of issuing a public statement expressing his disapproval of the princess' choice.I would think in a progressive State like Sweden people would be allowed to decide for themselves how they want to get married, but obviously the church has other views.
