I was first surprised with all the strange stories from my neighbors: arranged marriages, tons of kids in Senegal, working papers, residence papers, etc … Everything is very simple for my neighbors, whatever they do or choose to do is for survival.
When it comes to making kids, which is the worse of their choice, it is in fact the most logical of their choice. Since their marriage is arranged, there is no love, making a baby is the ultimate result of a social contract or a social pact. Without a kid, the contract is usually broken like a divorce.
It is the most cruel of their choice but it is at the core center of their life.

The guy who has tons of kids back in Africa, his wives made them so that they can receive money from him (or anything from him in order to survive). One divorced woman went back to Algeria and she handpicked couscous dude so that he can come to France legally… 2 kids quickly. One dude lost his wife who accused him of rape in his awful “arranged wedding” 0 kid, they divorced.

It is a social “trade” deal between them.
