Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

If depiction of Bengali Culture in Ekta Kapoor's soaps is considered true, they keep bride and groom separate for some nights. This period is termed as 'Kaal-rati'.. kaali raat or kaal wali raat

Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

^oh thanks.. I've never come across that in real life.. in my family and others I know the the bride and groom are allowed to be together and do what they like straight after nikah (no need to wait for rukhsati).. maybe others are different though..

Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

I think its common in only Bengali Hindus as they have a goddess with the name kaal-ratri and there are many mandirs of Kaali Maa in Bengal.

Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

Amaarke lagche the Goddess is Kaali. Not Kaal-ratri.

Ekta Kopoor Lifeboy soap use korchen? Ya Chondrika soap?

Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

Google says this:

The seventh day of Navratri pooja (ritual) is dedicated to Durga Kalaratri and she is considered the most violent form[SUP][2]](Kalaratri - Wikipedia)[/SUP] of Goddess Durga. Kalaratri is the one of the fiercest forms of Durga and her appearance itself evokes fear. This form of Goddess is believed to be the destroyer of all demon entities, ghosts, spirits and negative energies, who flee upon knowing of her arrival.

Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

I've read about this Kaal-ratri tradition in the novel Chokher Bali, which I had to read for a course in high school. The author of the novel is Rabindranath Tagore. The plot takes place in Bengal during the early twentieth century. I believe the novel was made into a film in the early 2000s.

Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

That's interesting. The English title of the novel is Grain of Sand. I believe I read somewhere that a more accurate translation of the phrase would be "sand in the eye."

Its considered to be better than engagement, it is proper marriage hence comes with a stronger bond.

Re: Getting to know a potential spouse in different cultures

I heard from someone that a similar nikkah ceremony was held, at the end the groom said to the bride let's go. The bride started following him resulting in a lot of ruckus there. There was some religious minded guy there who pacified the people and told them that their nikah is done, hence they are husband and wife. Now both want to go to their home no one can technically stop them.
