well, why are just mehendi’s segregated? what about shaadi’s? its not just the dancing, its the fact that non-mehram people are mixing thats unislamic too. and i think more girls get “checked out” at shaadis than at mehendis. at least mehendis are mostly limited to family and close friends; shaadi’s are an open forum for rishta aunties and the rest of the 400 guests invited. if you’re going to do it once, you might as well go all the way, no?

i agree with sahar’s pov here personally. i only have brothers too and i couldn’t imagine not having them at my mehendi/wedding, etc or being at theirs while they sat in a different room somewhere. people who weren’t comfortable with the dancing left after dinner and that was fine- at least they were shareek at our event and in our khushi. why can’t that be an acceptable alterative?

Agree with your post.
