Recently my cousin got engaged in Pakistan - I got some pictures the other day and showed to my mum.

The engagement was very simple, within the two families and the guy was wearing the ring to the girl. My mum saw the picture and was like ommg taubaa, besharmi (LOLZ) , its only engagement not Nikkah, it is tradition that the elders put the ring on the girl.

I was soo confused by this reaction of mums, seriously in PK..the girl and guy don’t get to put the rings on each other?

I’ve never heard of this before, as far as I haven’t seen here is western culture and even amongst desi’s.

Can someone enlighten me?

My other cousin said that , times have changed in Pakistan but many people still do the elders put the ring on thing

So I imagine your mom will be putting your fiances ring on? lol
