What to do when the other party requests pics of her without hijab to show to the ’ guy" or other folks?

Umm…who are these other folks?! I imagine there isn’t a problem with your daughter taking off her hijab in front of another woman. So the ONLY man who has any reason to see what she looks like without it is the potential groom himself. The few girls I know in real life who practice hijab don’t send pics to ANYONE without their hijab. Even if you tell the mother that you want the pic back, thanks to technology, they can easily scan and save it, and show it to who ever they want to.

@Khumar

you request that family to bring his son along for a rishta meeting, and if he is THAT eager to see her hair, then you, your daughter and only him can go to another room and they can sit together and talk. And that should only happen if the other family is serious about taking the rishta talks further, and not just there to drink chai. And that usually doesn’t happen in the first meeting.

^ I agree with this. Obviously you and/or your daughter are not comfortable with the idea of sending pics. So any family that’s interested in your daughter, let them know that if everything else goes well, the guy can come over with his mother/sister or another female family member, and your daughter would be happy to take her hijab off in person for a few minutes.

** Of course, if your daugher herself is very uncomfortable with the idea of taking off her hijab in front of the guy even for a few minutes, then don’t pressure her. It may take longer but you will just have to keep searching for the “right” family/guy to come along.
