Re: Marrying a Pakistani man …
No i never knew that, and i guess also the times of Prophet (SAAW) they were not aware of it, that is why, the Nikah with Ayesha (RZA) and Rukhsati were at different times… now don’t tell me that Hazrat Ayesha (RZA) and Prophet (SAW) were meeting out alone and spending nights together after the NIkkah and before the Rukhsati took place… ( there was 2-4 years difference between the Nikkah and Rukhsati)
And like Ashy has said, if the traditions are not against the basic values and ordeal of Islam, then no harm in following them if someone have chosen to follow them…
You can choose not to follow it but if someone have, then they have to respect it..
yet you have not answered the real question, if they were all set, then y didn’t they do for Rukhsati right after the NIkkah, why they have to postpone it to some other time, there should be a reason isn;t it?? but i guess we are going to get into religious debate instead of looking into the matter logically…
