Re: Marrying a Pakistani man …
it was not an accusation, i just wanted to point it out that u have made it sound like rukhsati is a “must” according to islamic proceeding of a marriage although it has not much significance islamically in the proceeding of a marriage
u said her MIL did the right thing by not letting the husband and wife be together alone bcoz rukhsati wasn’t done, and that she also did right by not letting them go for a honeymoon bcoz they didn’t have their rukhsati…as if it was haraam for them to be together alone before rukhsati…so i was jus letting u know that rukhsati is not a must islamically if u didnt already know that
and yes i do know rukhsati is a very much practiced tradition in Pakistan, just please dont mix it with whats legal in marriage and whats not as rukhsati is just a tradition as u urself pointed out and not a legal or islamic requirement of marriage proceedings
