As for "culture" MOST of our "practiced" culture is derived from india or tribal mindset...Very little is actually useful if we are to call ourselves Muslims...
From:
- dowry (shameless asking parents of girls or expecting stuff or taunting daughter in laws - none of this is Islamic yet it has somehow seeped into our society)
- Being ashamed of daughters (not very common but still surprisingly common- if they have stopped burying them, they burden them with enough headache which is far worse than being buried alive!)
- Praising sons as though they are the world (not Islamic yet is our culture! Where boys will be boys allows "men" as old as 40-50 to do what they please without question! MANY from baligh to death dont even know how to take responsibilities!)
- Asking daughters to tolerate abusive spouse for name sake! (not sure how such a thing is acceptable!)
I dont see any wisdom in any of this! Yet it is this culture that they will stand for over their dead bodies!
