Dulhan

So what’s up with desi people referring new brides as dulhans? I mean comon…why can’t they just say your wife, bhau/dil, or bhabhi?

Re: Dulhan

because they’re NEW BRides :pagli:

Re: Dulhan

i know this aunty...she is one of my father's friend's mom(so like my grandmother's age or so)...and whenever we meet...she asks me "baitee tumhara dulha kaisa hai...??.."

and i am not even a newly married person......!!

as much as i find it weird,i find it funny and cute too...hehehe

Re: Dulhan

aik acha ba-izett lafz heye. no?
bride of someone, or when someone is called a newly wed groom.
it is fine. being called dulhan beitee ya dulha mian. are old Urdu title of love by elders to a newly wed couple. but again, every one is different.

Re: Dulhan

Re: Dulhan

Re: Dulhan

Re: Dulhan

My father's mumani is still called "dulhan mumani" -- she is a grandmother!

Re: Dulhan

i was new dulhan for a week...thats it =/

Re: Dulhan

^ No way! At least a year, Sara.

Ammi still insists I’m a new dulhan and should take advantage of the status when dressing up for various occasions. It’s been three years. I guess until there are grandchildren, I maintain new dulhan status. :dixsi:

Re: Dulhan

k not a week, maybe more..:pagli:

Re: Dulhan

My grandmother all her life called my mom Dulhan.

Also my father refers my wife as Dulhan tough she is only few months old dulhan.

I think it sounds very old style yet full of sweetness and love.

Re: Dulhan

Does it has to do with the regions like differen regions have different traditions...

Re: Dulhan
