From an Islamic viewpoint, engagement has no value. Parents get their kids nikahfied these days so that they can go out without worrying about ‘log kya kahain gay’. So yes technically you are married, but culturally people dont consider you married until there has been a mehndi, shadi, rukhsati, and walima. I dont think it would kill anyone to have some patience and wait till their rukhsati to consummate their marriage.

And that’s precisely the problem with our culture we’ve dumbed down a nikkah to count only for a pseudo engagement while all of these faaltu rasmay (except the walima which is sunnat) are considered the “marriage”.

Unless there is an international immigration issue involved, there is no valid reason for a nikkah only with no ruhksati. If you’re satisfied enough to legally and Islamically marry someone, what’s the point of delaying living together? Let me guess..kapray banaanay ke liye time chaiyay lol.
