Re: Question in regards to rishta pics and hijab
First, I don’t know how ok you would be sending your daughter into a family that is ok with parading around a picture of some unknown girl to others. That just sounds skeevy to me. That’s like some guy showing the picture of a hottie he happened to snap at some random party to which he wasn’t even invited to. Chacha maami phuppi shouldn’t have an input into if a girl is ok to be married based on just her looks, and that too based on how she styles her hair. Second, my understanding is that if the guy requests the potential girl to be seen without the hijab, then she can choose to show it to him. Simply put, 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 .
Being someone who wears hijab I agree with Khumar. I wouldn’t go around showing my hair to everyone only if there was some serious interest from both sides and you are at the point where a decision needs to be made. So, I would say don’t send a picture to anyone. Explain to them you guys are not comfortable with it at this point in time.
