Paying for a ghost student

I paid tuition fees directly to the university for three years, believing my child was enrolled. I recently discovered that my child dropped out in the first year and never attended classes.

Settling disputes by duels

In our culture, men are expected to show strength and aggressiveness in disputes. Recently, someone crossed my path, and now I want to challenge them to a duel to settle a disagreement.
