I am not hurt at all Faja 🤗 it's always good to gain knowledge...
When I mentioned South India i did mean major south indian territory..Caz couples i have seen are from atleast 2 states.. thanks from correcting my facts..
N when I mentioned about this custom i did not want to convey any disgust (yes I thought it is disgusting when I was school kid) but later I got some more clarity... Again like how were customs around menstruation designed to give a rest to women blindly amended.. this marriage custom is similarly blindly amended.. won't go into details here...
Thanks for taking it in right sense Mugs.. 🤗
Its true many of the customs made on the grounds of convenience has been patronized by patriarchy irrespective of region, or community.. The waves of changes are slowly on an embark..
We all gathered here in BB forum is also that representation of the change we witness to see... 😊
