Act 3 Scene 5- Father or Husband?

Prompt A

In Act 3 Scene 5, Lord Capulet is set on the fact that he wants Juliet to marry Paris. The only problem is, she is already married to Romeo, and loves him, but her father does not know that. Juliet begs Lord Capulet not to forcer her to marry Paris, but her father becomes very angry and threatens to never speak to her again if she does not obey by his demands. This reminds me of girls in mostly Middle Eastern countries such as Afghanistan where their fathers set their marriages, with people that may be 40 years older then them, and they have never met before.
