Dadi amma had my bhai clean my shoe sole with his hanky before i left the house rukhsati walay din

but Dadi amma said no its Shugan
then there was this other one
when the dulhan leaves the mayoon ki peeri the girls run to sit on it

Are you experimenting with composition styles again, Anchal? Take my word, it sucks.
Here’re two that i find particularly amusing.
First one where the women have to carry a karoli filled with water on their heads and walk around whilst other female guests sing galiyaN - can’t quite recall any of them, but one of them goes: ‘blah blah blah, karoli paryaY re’ It’s always really funny watching gore give us weird looks

The second custom is that of women shaking this stick thing over the grooms face. It’s like a small stick with all these glittery decorations attached to the end. They just turn it round and round over the guys head. Poor Guy

I’d love to know the meaning behind these.
The funniest one is when dulha says qabool hai, qabool hai, qabool hai...I mean come on! who r we kidding here!
When it was my rukhsati, I was given a hadnful of rice, uncooked, which I had to throw over and behind my head before I left my parents house.
When I got to the inlaws, they had put on the floor, cotton wool ki balls,from the threshold, right into the room where the chair was. I had to step on these when I firt walked into their house.
Oh yeah, and when the groom comes to get ya, there is a chair on which he is to sit. However the saaliyan sit on it first and wont get off it until he gives them a fair amount of money.
Umm, that`s about all I can remember.
Now that we are asking reasons, I have a rather common "Rasam" that I need an answer for.
When the 'Dulha' comes for Mahandi, why does he have to come under the "Dupata" I believe its of his elder bhabhi if he has one!
Secondly, when the Dulhan comes to Dulha's house, he is escorted in with another dupata held high up her head and also someone carrying Quran on her head. Any Islamic significance?
Do you think that the majority of these rasaams are from hindu traditions??

chilli...99% sure they're from hindu customs.

I was told that this is a HIndu tradition that Pakistanis have taken on from before the partition of India and Pakistan.
We still do it, and I like the idea of leaving my parents house walking under it.
But Hinna, whats the reasoning behind it being wrong? Im interested.
Islam being the universal religion absorbs a lot of cultures and their customs as well.
So some custom having cultural significance cannot to rejected on the note that the followers of other religions living in the same culture do it the same way.
But if there are cultural customs that are aganist the teaching of Islam are being practiced in 'Sadi Biyah' or any other occasions, then only should they be condemned.
farhana..wat? I’m sorry..wat are u asking me??

I was just wondering if the tradition of walking under the Quran is Islamic or not?
Umm I’m not too sure about that one. I’ve only seen this in desi weddings. Lemme see what I can find.
