A Strange Marriage Custom of Hindkowans

[Zibago]

And Jadoons are Pashtuns.. not former Hindus etc.

Their tribe is of Pashtun origin but ethnically they are Hazarawals and follow hazarawal customs

I doubt you people drive brides to the grooms house.

And Jadoons are Pashtuns.. not former Hindus etc.

I come from south india and these type of customs do exists where I come from.

The principle is simple. The in-laws should not be feel that the marriage has resulted in extra burden to the family as the girl joins their family. This is the same reason why we bring our daughters back to ours homes for delivery of the children and send the daughter and child back when the child is around 4-6 months old.

You can found this custom in Punjab also especially Indian Punjab there are saying (we don't drink even a drop of water from Sister / Daughter's house).
Just a custom to show that we don't take any benefit from girls but always gives them whatever they need.

very interesting.. thanks for sharing this. is this not the same in the OP's place? why is it different? someone posted in the thread that this is more "Tradtion" than "religious".. can you please share if thats the case?

is this an arab tradition?

I know.. too many questions. if you can please share what this custom/religious practice is called.. i will google it and learn about it myself.

thanks in advance

I dnt think this tradition has anything to do with any religion i am not sure though

 

[omega supremme]

Nope i wouldnt say that nor will anyone who actually knows hindko and pahari

Then you don't know a iota about hindkowans. jadoons consider themself a pathan tribe yet they are a part of hindko speaking and fluently speak hindko same goes for the Tanoli tribe they also have linkage with pashtun yet they mostly now speak hindko. As far as pahaari are concerned they speak pure hindko or a more hard dialect just like we Pakistani's don't speak the pure urdu rather simple urdu.

Our cultures and traditions are different.

Among Pashtuns (specially tribal belt)... it's the groom who pays for dowry.

We Baluch also have similiar practices.

Not just Punjabi but a subcontinent custom/tradition.

It is very much a subcontinent tradition.

Kanyasulkam (bride-money) or Vara Vikrayam (dowry) started as voluntary customs like Sati but became rigid in the middle ages and have all been banned in modern India.

Lol

By far the most interesting defence related thread on this website.

Like if anyone had gone for watta satta practice it would fall under strategic planning?

Love it.

I personally blame Zia for this too

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