    Angry Hard Problem :(

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    //A structure inside another structure
    struct strEntry
    {
    char  *first_name;
    char  *last_name;
    
    struct strMarriage
    {
      char *marriage_date;
      char *marriage_city;
    };
    
    };
    
    void  enter_entry (strEntry& person);   //function prototype
    
    ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    
    void main()
    {
    strEntry name;
    enter_entry(name);
    }
    
    ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    
    void enter_entry (strEntry& person)
    {
    int num_marr;
    char space[100];
    
    cout << "First Name: ";
    cin.get (space,99,'\n');
    cin.get ();
    strcpy((person.first_name = new char[strlen(space)+1]), space);
    
    cout << "Last Name: ";
    cin.get (space,99,'\n');
    cin.get ();
    strcpy((person.last_name = new char[strlen(space)+1]), space);
    
    cout << "How many times have you been married? ";
    cin >> num_marr;
    
    new strEntry.strMarriage[num_marr];  //THIS IS WRONG. WHAT SHOULD IT BE?
    
    for (int count=1; count <= num_marr; ++count)
    {
    cout << "Marriage Date " << count << ": ";
    cin.get (space,99,'\n');
    cin.get ();
    //what should be entered here???????
    
    cout << "Marriage City " << count << ": ";
    cin.get (space,99,'\n');
    cin.get ();
    //what should be entered here???????
    }
    
    }
    I am not allowed to use global member names

    The whole point of a structure inside another structure is this:
    There will be several other members such as children,
    so I will also need to ask how many children do they have.
    If I create several structures then I will have to pass several member names, and I don't want to do that. I only want to pass one.

    I can not figure this out
