Sociologists and psychologists ag ree that our society is in a transitory stage. Some people resist the idea of adapting to new ideas, out of fear that such ideas may threaten our customs and traditions. This transitory state inevitably affects family relationships. It is worth noting, however, that social change is not a peculiar experience, but rather, an ordinary everyday affair. But since the family is a sacred social institution, especially in our Arab societies, any change is usually subject to considerable res istance and questioning. This response definitely affects the relationship between young peo ple and their parents. In an attempt to se t a defined framework for this relationship, an age of consent (21) was established in the West. The issue is not as cl ear cut in our society, however.
