Wearing saree is from Hinduism.

Showing navel has been considered good since it was considered source of life and creativity.

Many myths and misconceptions are originated from Hinduism.

For example:

Negative feelings about a woman who enjoys her life as a widow (not allowing her to wear colored clothes or good jewelry), and she should not think of another man to get married again.

Looking down upon women who have no children.

Having a male child being superior to having female child.

Making girls “sister” by giving them Rakhi,

Nose piercing,

Thinking that Brother of the wife (Devar) is no problem for Bhabi. ( May not be Hinduism strictly but still came from Indian culture)

etc.

Most of the above things you mention are again cultural aspects of the subcontinent. In fact, many people made fun of our Prophet (saw) for not having any sons. It was the culture of that part of the world. Sadly, it remains so even now.

I don’t think it is written in the Hindu guidebooks that “thou shalt hate upon widows” or “thou shalt pierce your nose oh woman or you will be born a frog in the next life” or “if your daughter in law bears a daughter, thou shalt taunt her for the rest of your life.” Maybe some Hindu can shed some light here.
