Re: Bride and Groom’s Own Dance Number
So being religious means you drop your culture (essentially dropping your identity imo) then doesn’t that mean you should all learn Arabic, forget about Urdu and never attend such haram weddings?
Culture as well as religion is adaptable and because it is fluid, it changes over time. Yes, 20years ago you didn’t have western concepts in your wedding but also 20years ago I bet you didn’t know many gori/goras.
Some may find PDA acceptable, some may not but there are also some that find the middle ground is ok.
In my opinion it is NOT religion who says kissing in unacceptable I think it is Asian culture. No matter where you go in Asia you won’t see many people showing affection towards each other even in Japan its frowned upon and we’re not religious at all.
I don’t care if an another couple kiss at their wedding, I will not be perhaps some people will shun me for holding my SOs hand while we sit and greet etc but knowing that it will calm me down I refuse to think about what others think.
Just because I hug the other sex won’t mean that I’ll sleep with them in a heartbeat and I definitely won’t be shaking my booty at them I think the only people who can do that are african americans and latinos.
Verdict from is that people who don’t want to dance won’t dance people who do will. Its a personal choice and one shouldn’t try to intimidate a happy couple for wanting to dance.
The thing about Islam is that it prides itself in being never-changing. Hence the perspective that religion is adaptable isn’t shared by the religious.
