I agree that treating nikkah as engagment (getting to know period) is stupid but atleast what I know people do not do that. As for cutsy things yes after the Ruksati comes the resposibilty of ghar dari, inlwas and what not. Couples do get the honey moon period of one week and then back to routine. I am talking about majority of cases here. So I think if for what ever reson Ruksati is delayed it can be a wonderful and memorable experience in a pakistani couple's life.
look, i dont think responsiblity and looking after a ghar kills off cutesy wootsy stuff.
A lot of people in pakistan still think its ok to break off the nikkah cus the girls hasnt been rukhsatfied ...
