@funky_nails

thank you for ur replies. I know it sounded very silly my question.

What Soconfused is saying. My family has same values i assume… my mom told me girls do dance if there is only family (also family men), but the thing is on mehndi’s there are also men from the other ‘party’… Since the mehndi functions in our family have been all together, my cousin sisters did not dance at all. Which i think is really sad… and no fun at all to me! How can u do it different??

I’ve seen a few things in my family and my circle of friends (who are the same level of conservative as me).

1. the men are in a different room the entire time
2. the men are told to leave when the dancing starts so it’s just girls
3. the boys do their dancing with everyone and then the guests all leave and only the “ghar walay” are left (the opposite party’s men and guests will leave after a whlie also) then at THAT point, the girls dance.

We had an issue with my friend having a mixed mehndi and her cousins and uncles were there. Even though theyre like family to me, I don’t feel comfortable dancing in front of them so my other friends–who shared the same sentiment–ended up dancing at one of the mannnnny dholkis/mayoon.
