Find if XML element has a matching required element

I want to check if every <Part> element has corresponding <Description> in this sample XML.

Code:

 
        ....<Lot Of XML>
                    <Inv lineNumber="2">
                        <Item>                                                        
                            <Part>xxxxxx</Part>
                        </Item>                                             
                        <Description>aaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbb</Description>
                    </Inv>                                             
        ....<Lot Of XML>
                    <Inv lineNumber="2">
                        <Item>                                              
                            <Part>xxxxxx</Part>
                        </Item>                         
                    </Inv>
        ....<Lot Of XML>
                    <Inv lineNumber="2">
                        <Item>                                              
                            <Part>xxxxxx</Part>
                        </Item>                         
                        <Description>aaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbb</Description>
                    </Inv>
        ....<Lot Of XML>

This example should fail, since second <Part> does not have corresponding <Description>. I can count total <part> elements and total <Description> elements but does not feel that its the right way to do it.

Parsing using xml tools is not an option.

kpasswd

kpasswd(1)							   User Commands							kpasswd(1)

NAME

       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/kpasswd [principal]

DESCRIPTION

       The  kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password. kpasswd prompts for the current Kerberos password, which is used to
       obtain a changepw ticket from the KDC for the user's Kerberos realm. If kpasswd successfully obtains  the  changepw  ticket,  the  user	is
       prompted twice for the new password, and the password is changed.

       If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or number of character classes required in the new password, the new
       password must conform to the policy. (The five character classes are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and  all  other  charac-
       ters.)

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       principal    Change  the  password  for the Kerberos principal principal. Otherwise, the principal is derived from the identity of the user
		    invoking the kpasswd command.

FILES

       /tmp/ovsec_adm.xxxxxx	Temporary credentials cache for the lifetime of the password changing operation. (xxxxxx is a random string.)

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

BUGS

       If kpasswd is suspended, the changepw tickets may not be destroyed.
