Paper Marriage is under strict observation abroad
Saturday 27 July 2013
A lot of young men go crazy for going abroad in order to
earn their living. No doubt, economic recession in the country, devaluation of
local currency, and increasing unemployment in Pakistan are some of the
monsters that compel our young lot to think of going abroad. Their relatives and
friends abroad intensify their desire with their show off of wealth on their
visit to Pakistan and a deep feel of inferiority and being let down overwhelms them and they
long for flying to US and other European countries where, they think, rivers of
dollars and pounds flow and heavens are waiting for them.

Marriage Rituals and Islam
Friday 26 July 2013
A politician in Bahawalnagar district wedded recently and
the barat was demanded to come by helicopter. The bride desired to go to her
husband’s place in a helicopter. Desires are the signs of life and they should
exist in our daily life otherwise life will be a blank paper. But these wishes
and desires should not be at the cost of others. Desire of bringing barat on a
helicopter may lead to a trend or the other brides of the area can also demand
the same on their marriage. Where will the trend go if this practice goes on?

Eid Bazaars and ladies shopping
Wednesday 24 July 2013
Eid ul Fitr is in the wake and excitement of girls and
ladies goes on increasing in spite of the hot and humid weather. They have
started visiting boutiques, cloth depots, shoes brands and jewelry shops. Mehndi
is another festivity that is favorite on Eid and without which Eid is not considered
perfect. Special Mehndi stalls on Eid
are the temporary beauty of Eid bazaars skilled people are hired to apply
Mehndi on the hands of girls. Bangles are another must and shops have an extended
item of Eid. After Eid, wedding season
is coming up, so the ladies are shopping for two events.
Other Eid accessories consist of home decor, children items,
food items, make up, and what not. These bazaars are prelude to Eid and
marriages after Eid. So the rush in these bazaars and markets is justifiable. These preludes offer complete shopping packages
at one place and aim at pleasing the customers with the best they can have for
them.

Where are the Perfect Matches?
Sunday 21 July 2013
According to an estimate, 10 million girls are unmarried in
Pakistan and their parents are waiting for the suitable matches for them. Every
rising day they start waiting for someone to select them as their life partners and every sunset brings news of ‘no one came’. Disappointments and depression overwhelm
them and different psychological problems appear in their life. Parents blame
themselves to have daughters and the girls allege themselves to be born as
girls. High standards of our society and double standards of the parents of
boys contribute to a massive number of these unmarried girls. Why are parents
of boys not empathetic towards the family of girls? They seek for a daughter-in-law
resembling moon irrespective of appearance and look of their son.
Out of the main reasons of this gigantic number, there is a
tendency of impressing others with the selection of superb daughter-in-law. Relatives
and friends are the audience of this show off who are feared to make fool if
daughter-in-law is not extremely beautiful, smart and cool.
Dowry is the other main reason of this issue. Those who are
not financially strong are doomed to suffer like this. They do not have money
to buy cars, heavy machinery, plots, and house to their daughter in dowry. And the
result is the daughters turn gray-headed at home of parents. Marriage is a bargain in other words.
Appearance is the only criterion to select a girl as life
partner. It means those who have not been born with so-called beauty, will not
find matches. girls with less height or with any physical problem are denied to get selected as life partners.

Seasons of Marriages in Pakistan
Friday 19 July 2013
Pakistan is located in region where extremities of four
weathers touch the land and its inhabitants have to adapt themselves according
to the modes and moods of weathers. Intensely cold weather confines the outside
activities on one side, and blistering sun limits all mobility for the three
months of summer. Hot and humid weather
of the rainy season makes it very hard to manage marriage functions. Suffocation
and humidity level in the air deteriorates the wedding activities and people
generally prefer their marriage in October to December and February to the mid
of April. These months are ideal for
functions as there are no warm clothes needed to cover from cold nor are there
any fans or air conditioners required to keep the temperature normal.
Wedding dresses are available in the stuff that is not easy
to wear in terribly hot or cold weather. All bridal dresses are made with
embroidery and other fine work in fancy stuff that makes it heavy to wear and
bear it in extreme seasons.
Food served in wedding functions is also a matter of concern
when talking on the ideal season of marriages. In summer, it is feared to go
stale and in winter it needs to be heated again and again.

Rasm e Mehndi in Marriages
Thursday 18 July 2013
One of the most fascinating event in marriages is the ritual
of mehndi celebrated almost in every family. It is the generally stag night when hands
and feet of the girl are garnished with mehndi that leaves dark red or maroon
color on the skin and is considered a compulsory part of a marriage. Apparently, it is a function of applying
mehndi, but it is made colorful with singing songs and dancing by the friends
and family members of bride. Girl wears yellow or green fancy dress of her
choice or brought by the family of bridegroom. In some marriages, family of
bridegroom brings mehndi for the girl and the both families enjoy the colors
and bliss of the event. Mehndi is
brought in fancy dishes adorned with candles and flowers. Young boys and girls
conduct singing contests while elders enjoy their activities sitting in arm
chairs and sofas.
Elder ladies and specially seven suhagan (the ladies who are
married) ladies are supposed to start the ritual of married and they put a
little quantity of mehndi on the hands of bride. Though this mehndi is merely a
display and real mehndi is applied by the beauticians or any other expert lady,
the whole gathering makes it a beautiful function. There is no panic or hurry
in this function that makes it the most memorable event and young generation
prefers to attend it the most. Though
these rituals have been taken from other nations, everyone family plans and manages
them with zeal.
