The title “Marriage Is a Private Affair” ironic because:

The marriage of Nnaemeka and Nene is not private at all because it is discussed by the entire village.

Nnaemeka's father Okeke was against the decision of Nnaemeka of marring Nene because she belonged to a tribal group. Such reserved and orthodox thinking was not just restricted to Okeke but were the thinking of the entire village. After their marriage, the women of the village didn't include Nene in any of the village affairs. Where marriage should be a totally private affair Nnaemeka's and Nene's marriage becomes a public one.

What did the psychiatrist at the hotel ask Muriel about Seymour?

blagie [28]

Psychiatrist was asking and investigating about the death of Seymour so was asking questions related to that.

Explanation:

One potential, if far less fulfilling, explanation behind Seymour's death is pedophilia. He's pulled in to Sybil and even ventures to such an extreme as to kiss her foot. He's at that point loaded up with disgrace at his activity thus executes himself, saving Sybil's virtue all the while.

So psychiatrist is trying to know the reason of the death of Seymour and investigating in that matter.
