Re: Marriage rituals
where does these peer o murshid came in this discussion. There are several customs in Indo-Pak marriages which are symbolic and doesn’t have to do anything with the sin or going against the principles of faith.
Like there is this custom in many communities that bride is asked to cook some meetha (kheer) when she starts cooking in in-laws.
When a bride visits relatives, she is given some gifts / money (we call it ghar aayo in Sindhi).
There are many customs which are not against faith. Like in OP oiling the doors is not a sin… Its a common practice to avoid noise created by old doors. Nowadays, people built new homes or at least renovate before wedding. In old times, not everyone was making a separate home (due to prevalent joint family system) and therefore they white-wash their homes and oiled old doors. Nothing sinful in that.
oops! sorry yaaro, i posted my cooments in the wrong thread…it was meant for another thread in which a Gappan asked about her sick sister-in-law whom she wanted to take to a peer saab for treatment.
Muqwee, can you please move my post to that thread please. thank you!
