I hear this term often but what exactly is this practice?. And why they do it?
Re: Yey Quran sey shaadi kya hoti hey?
There are no reported instances of this practice in recent past. It was hilighted in some of PTV's dramas written by Noor ul Huda Shah back in 1980s like 'Jungle'.
Its origin lies in concept of Quran being makhlooq that was a fitna during Abvbasid caliphate, which was strongly agitated by Imam Abu Hanifa. Somehow, this tradition transferred to Sindh through Arabs and it might have remained part of elite families as they didn't want to give share of inheritance to daughters.

Did arabs practiced Shaadi with Quran or sindhis simply borrowed the abbasid concept of Quran as makhlooq to invent a new custom?. By the way i have also heard about Quran sey shaadi in punjab. Denying inheritance right is one thing, marrying Quran is very blasphemous thing to do.

I don't think Arabs practiced this in their society. First phase of Arab conquest went till Multan (which is now part of Punjab), so there are chances that this was also practiced in those areas as well.
The concept of Quran being Makhlooq lead to various customs in Sindhi society and I've observed an attitude showing reflection of this theory in Sindhi society. Like, once there was a severe storm in our hometown and people either carried Quran in their arms and chant 'Ae Khuda tujhe iss ka wasta' and some people just face towards Quran and chant 'Waseela! madad farma'. They put Quran in small jhoolas on many Mazars in Sindh and Punjab and keep on swinging it like we swing our children at homes.
When you consider something as makhlooq, then you try it treat like makhlooq. Same happened with Quran. Hindus got customs of marrying their daughters temporary to trees, animals symobolically (like Aishwariya Rai was married to a tree before marrying Abhishek Bachan). This coupled with concept of Quran being makhlooq paved ways for exploitation of ladies rights. Once married to Quran (known as haq bakhshwana in local language), the girl will be bride of Quran and she lost her right to marry a man. But again with the passage of time, probably this custom ended or at least its not being reported like karo-kari and Wanni. Noor ul Huda Shah in her interview in 2000s confessed that she herself never observed such practice, though she belong to a conservative Syed family. Her depiction of the practice was based on something that reached her form her elder generation.

Do you think this tradition was picked up through hinduism , where they tend to marry off their tuesday born people to the monkeys or any other form of animal that they have as gods in their scriptures .. I strongly think this has a connection to that tradition
Re: Yey Quran sey shaadi kya hoti hey?
Both the religions (their interpretation) lead to this custom for exploitation of ladies.
Interestingly, it was only practiced in elite class who got properties. In masses, there are no evidences for practicing this. Shah jo Risalo written in 18th century, do refer to traditions of Rajput ladies burning themselves like Satti, but not about this practice.
During British period, when Satti was banned all across India, no legislation was done for this issue, which also suggests that this has never been widely practiced. Even British visitors to Sindh haven't mentioned it in their books (at least , I don't know about it).
Re: Yey Quran sey shaadi kya hoti hey?
Yes. Islam is perfect. Hinduism is not. So anything that seems unreasonable in present day Muslim religious practices it is OK to attribute it to Hinduism and its exploitation of women due to poor interpretation. Cause Hindus marry monkeys and trees.
Re: Yey Quran sey shaadi kya hoti hey?
No one claimed perfection of any one religion or degraded the other. Such marriages are null and void in Islam and are only used to exploit those who are not aware of teachings of religion.
I don't know about the religious importance of marriages with tree, etc in Hinduism, but I know that Satti got no religious backing from Hinduism (At least, the way it was practiced).
So, the point here was impact of misinformation about religious teachings and the way this is used for exploitation of ladies.
Re: Yey Quran sey shaadi kya hoti hey?
I agree with you that there was no attempt to degrade any religion. However, the Hindu cultural practices take a beating each time some Muslim practice is found wanting.
I don't claim that the contents are not accurate. But that simply opens the door for analysis of each religion and it's scripture. Which some can't tolerate.
Re: Yey Quran sey shaadi kya hoti hey?
^ Because Muslims were (and are) living with Hindus. Just like Muslims in USA today would celebrate Christmas, or adopt other western values, Muslims in India and around adopted several Hindu traditions.
The idea is not to put down Hinduism but most of the stuff that is not allowed or included in Islam was adopted from local culture. Having several wives is allowed in practiced widely in Arab world. This practice is looked down upon in Muslim society in India/Pakistan which is also a cultural influence.
If Indians were mostly Buddhist or Catholic, then Muslims would have adopted some of their practices and they would 'take a beating' at gupshup :P
