sara, haan, i agree, super pregnant ladies in bathing suits is a bit much, but i think if you’re preggo and you look preggo and you look good, well then, you say Mash’Allah and you dress to look good and feel good. wearing mumu’s and giant kameezes with your shalwars makes some women look like giant martians and i dont know… it just bugs me.

sehar, that is SICK. i can’t believe they go thru that… ugh. altho i was referring mainly to pakistani ladies abroad that i’ve seen/known.

I think its evil nazar, shame of body, shame of sexual relationship, but mostly evil nazar… :halo:

like i said, you open interesting threads! leads to great convos :)

teelobhain, but then what do you do? how do you pick someone to marry? such a dilemma!

sara, i think its twisted and wrong... procreation is the highest order of life, i think... i mean, its the future of our generation and the future of the world. to reduce it to something base and shameful is so wrong.

Well liek Sahar said, sexuality is so repressed that a pregnant woman might be subjected to catcalls..but then that’s not so different here now is it (Milfs and stuff )? Anyways I’m assuming most pregnant women aren’t dying to bust out of thier shalwar kameezes and don bellyshirts and low riders, if they feel cmfortable and better in fact to wear muumuus/tents/etc, then by all means…I take ti back that its’ abt being ashamed of ones body, for htem its about having respect for their body by not showing it off, subjecting it to criticism or leers or staring..

teelobhain-- haan... but then when things go wrong, didn't those people trust in Allah? i guess theres a lesson to be learned in every experience you have.

ermm… i guess so… i can see it being more comfortable, for sure. but as for respect for their body, i didnt mean they should parade around in belly shirts and low rise shorts, i just meant, you can get nice clothes that fit you properly and that cover you at the same time. they dont have to be indecent to be nice, you know?

Re: Symbolism of the red dress

^ women in my family dont take the easy way out - they try to fix it all and i guess that is trust in Allah - as they say himmat -e- people madad-e-khuda...but i am worried about myself seeing some womens bad experiences, i tend to get worried by such things easily

[somegroovychick]

Re: Symbolism of the red dress

i dont blame you! sounds like they've had awful experiences!
might i suggest marrying outside your family? :p

[teelobhain]

Re: Symbolism of the red dress

thats the problem baba all the outsiders are the problematic men actually ones in the family are good - coming to myself situation i dont have anyone left in the family for me all are elder and married while the one which is available is not my type he is a bit to reserved for me...so yea i am to go for the outsider only.

Why red ?!?

**Why our 'traditional' asian brides wear red on their wedding day?

I mean the western brides wear white coz it's the symbol of 'virginity'.

So, what does red mean ????**

Also eastern brides wear white. All Arab and other countries like Japan also wear white.

Re: Why red ?!?

lol... i guess its just personal choice........ Red looks pretty on Brides according to me. It's colourful..... but its ur day u can wear what ever you like, its not that u have to wear. I have seen so many brides in white, pink, ferozi etc on the Barat day....... but to me Red is for Barat n any other colour for the Walima....

Re: Why red ?!?

it just looks traditional.. somehow

[mistral]

I think it started out as a Hindu tradition. The red color was supposed to be symbolic of the sun.

And the practice just spread to the point where the Muslims were doing it as well, even though traditionally, I believe a Muslim bride wears white.

Re: Why red ?!?

red is a color of happiness. it's a shokh color, which is suited for a young girl. chinese brides wear read traditionally, and they decorate their houses with red during the new year because it's a lucky color.

white is a symbol of death and mourning, and suited for old people.
