In English, we unexpectedly 'fall' in love, but in Persian, love has stages: First the 'havā' (infatuation) of youth, then the 'dūstī' (affectionate love) of a couple, followed by 'eshq' (passionate love) of newlyweds, and finally the 'mohabbat,' (caring love) of an old couple.

Raising kids to help around the house or to participate in the family business or to take care of siblings is not child labor. Child labor is what we promote when we force kids to go to school everyday from 8 to 3 and to participate in all of those extracurricular activities.
