A Strange Marriage Custom of Hindkowans

[Sam.]

Yes is my custom and my culture

I could never eat or drink at my sisters houses and ones been married for 20 years plus .

People have turned white and follow gora culture too much
I know someone who eats and stays at his sister and bro in laws house when visiting
We call him names

I second that.

Issan pora ni pata, ainway chavlia marna e ...........

Our own relatives did this to us bride leaving tradition ........ it is not followed by everyone, but few I guess.

@Narendra Trump @Hallian_Khan

The other strange traditions, which are partly followed are

• Groom's friends literally tearing his pants on the eve of wedding ........
• In some villages the village barber would change the dress of the groom

first one mostly followed in mansehra
2nd one called jora which happened earlier its very rare now a days. ab meera ke tara k larky ah gaey hn jo parlour se tayar ho k atay hain so.....

I am a hindkowan, no such tradition in our area, in fact we wont let any free food opportunity go by

I know this is a thing in culture to not eat anything from daughter house but I personally never seen anyone following it. Actually my mother family never let go any opportunity to eat in our house.

Unless you are rich and your sister barely make ends meet otherwise this tradition was for another era.

don't know about this

In some villages the village barber would change the dress of the groom

but this is true

This guy knows eveything about hindkowans and Pashtoons

 

[utraash]

As a Punjabi you can claim its your tradition and as a south Indian I will claim it to be my tradition.

Same in my tradition.

Recently my uncle got married in a Hindko speaking Jadoon family of Abbotabad. What I found most strange was that these guys did not hand us over the bride until they didn't drove their girl all the way from Abbotabad to Nowshera where we were temporarily living and left in an instant after dropping the bride without drinking even a glass of water. We requested them a lot to at least drink a glass of water as they had drove so long non-stop in this heat but they refused and left in an instant.
Can someone from that region shed light on what type of a custom is this?I mean simply mind boggling.

Many people from subcontinent follow the same custom with some difference.

I think someone hadn't told the Abbotabad hindkowan in-laws (ex) who were over every other day. And the Multan ones too were same. Mental torture!

Present (from FSD) don't have issue with food but don't like visiting for non-interference reasons. Nice people

It is much easier to change one's religion than change age old customs, traditions and habits.

There are many subcontinent Muslims who converted to Islam very recently (1700s to early 1800s).

Hindu-Muslim marriages were also a very common place.

most of the people in hazara division of kpk Pakistan are not converts but mist Iif them are syeds and many tribes of Pashtuns who speak Hindko which us closed to pothohari language.
i can give you close to correct explanation of the custom is that this area of Pakistan was inhibited by Hindus in large numbers many of whom left after partion besides the Sikh rule.

 

[Spring Onion]

Very common in some Pashtun circles and these traditions still alive in Sub continent. But few hundred years back Jadoons were hindu and still stick with there traditions.


Love this lingo .... example of Hindo lingo

this is peshawari hindko totally different ftrom the one spoken in hazara
