Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Ok.. one of my friends, whose family migrated from Bihar told me that there is a tradition in their family that at the time of Rukhsati of the girl, the brides car move forward and came back (reverse) three times before finally leaving babul ka ghar. This shows that although she has been married, but ‘wo maike aati jaati rahe gi’.

I found it quite interesting and asked what would have been the situation, when the bride was extra fat and they used Palkis and Dolis in past :D, He said at that time girls were married at an early age before getting extra fat. :hehe:

puranay zamanay mein palki uthanay walon per zulm hota ho gaa :hehe: Weird tradition.

My friend’s family used to have mounh dikhai tradition after nikkah. It was different Dulhan , dulha wore one duppatta and dulha used to have a mirror where he can see his wife’s face. She was in Sindh Muqawwee ever heard of that tradition. :hmmm:

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

ok, so we have a really silly rasm that hyderabadi’s do along along with aarsi mushaf (putting dupatta over dulha dulhan who are facing eachother, and then using a mirror to show them eachother’s faces)…the bride’s sisters/aunts/cousins take a tiny piece of misri (rock sugar candy) and place somewhere on the dulhan (like her shoulder, forhead etc) and just as the groom has to lean forward to take the misri with his mouth, they pull the dulhan away to tease…I’m not sure why our how this silliness came about, sounds kinda kinky doesn’t it? :cb:

Also, on the Chounti, the bride’s family plays harmless pranks on dulha, like feeding him a gulab jamun stuffed with mirchi…

I like cultural things of South East Asia but I don't want to create new things in my own religion. Wearing new dress or red dress or having a walima party is a traditional thing and I love it but doing something which has superstitions in it is not just right. Like chawal pekhna because it will bring blessing is a new thing in religion and we shouldn't be doing it.

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Yes I know this is quite funny and still followed in some families. Maine Amma ko keh dia hai maine koi rasmen nahin karwani.

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

keh do tum nay larki pehlay hi dekh rakhi hai :faizy:

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

:omg: There is a rasm called ‘La’oon’ in Sindh, where they get seated Dulha Dulhan opposite to each other and all the relative came one by one and hold both Dulha Dulhan’s heads in their hands and move the heads to touch each other. We call it takkar too. Sometimes, this create problem, when someone tries to push heads with force.

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Uss pe unhe koi aitraz nahin :D, but once I checked my Amma by asking that I wanna marry falan girl (the girl famous for her jaghde) and my Amma literary started crying… Then I had to tell the truth :smiley:

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Ammiyon kaa dil bara nazuk hota hai aisi baatein naa kiya karo :hehe: Warna chappal bhi parh sakti hai

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Chaplen aur bailan boht pad chuki, but when I passed some years away from home, Ammi became extra emotional for me and now whenever I remind her that ‘Ammi yaad hai wo palang ke neeche aap ne bailan phanka tha’ tau she says ‘tang bhi to kitna karte the, ek behn ki jaan chudati thi doosri ki shaamat aati thi’. :smiley:

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

:hehe: becahri behnon ki shamat hi aati hai :naak: achaa to ab ammi khuch nahi kehteen and achi si payari se bahu lanay kaa sochti hain :hmmm:

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Haan kuch yehi haal hai.. lekin ab unhe mool se ziada biyaj pyara hai.. as per her words ‘tumhare bachon ko khilana hai’.. Bahoo ke bare main kuch nahin kehti direct bachon per :smiley:

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

jaldi kar lo Muaqwwe tumhari shaadi anay wali hai ham GS per bhi function ker lein gya :D

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

:D so you are ladla of Ammi...................:D

Re: Wedding traditions in South East Asia

Another rasm from Sindh:

Wedding Rasam in which the Groom holds a date in his fist and the Bride tries to open the fist and take that date.The Groom almost always loses ( He can’t let his now wife lose can he ? )

The Groom’s now inlaws demand for a gift if he loses , a way for the siblings and cousins of the Bride to tease the groom and enjoy.
