Why it is considered as taboo for a girl to propose a guy in many cultures?

Do you think that religions play role in forming such taboos or its more about culture of a particular area?

We read that the Prophet was proposed by Hazrat Khadija who was an independent trader then. Is the tradition of forwarding a marriage proposal by a girl, part of those societies where women are financially stable?

Re: Marriage proposal and social taboo

Its just not other…even our mindset is similar.
I rem a few days bk my csn sis was telling me abt her frnd who got nikahfied and then they had a lil breakfast party with a few close ppl…later the girls husband called her tou he said..tum mere paas wali seat pe kyon aa ke nahi baithee and why didnt you hold my hand.

so my reaction was “wo larka hai..khud aa ke nahi baith sakta tha paas wali seat pe…aur khud hath nahi pakar sakta tha…its he who was suppsoed to do tht”

so i guess its in our mind tht the guy should take the first step in everything :bummer:
