How to use "Obligatory" in context?
When people think of obligations, they may think of things like chores and duties that must be completed in order to maintain a certain standard of living. These obligations may be voluntary or mandatory, but in either case, they are often viewed as something that must be done in order to maintain a certain lifestyle. However, there are also other kinds of obligations that can be considered obligatory without necessarily being forced.
