Often times in Hindi serials we see that girls—no matter whether they are modern or traditional—wear sarees and salwars (and other conservative clothing) after marriage.

Do you think that today's youth should do the same?

I personally don't. I think one should wear whatever they feel like it, and express themselves. I mean sure, some-day's I'd wear sarees and salwars—but just because I feel like it. Perhaps it is because I do not live in India, so I don't find many occasions to wear Indian clothing. I agree to an extent on the conservative clothing part. I mean I wouldn't wear a spaghetti straps and a mini-skirt, that's for sure.

What about you?

i don't think girls should have to dress conservative after marriage! but i do believe some things should change like the whole dress like a single or a teen thing should go away after marriage. even though some girls are expected to wear saree's or salwaar kameez after marriage you can still express yourself in the traditional clothing! many girls in india, when i go for vaca, i have seen that there are lots of ways to incorporate your style with traditional clothing!
but all in all i beleive that you should never be forced to wear something just becuase you get married

I wouldnt wear traditional clothing...and i dont think its a big deal here in the US. If i got married, i'd wear what i usually wear! Except for maybe the first few days cause they have all those rituals and people coming over and what not

But i dont think i'll leave my jeans and sweats for sarees or suits 😆

I do like a lot of the styles they wear in the Hindi serials, but wouldn't necessarily wear them. We also have seen actresses who wear quite untraditional clothing even post-marrriage, i.e. Malaika Arora Khan, Karisma Kapoor, etc. I knew a friend who used to wear mini skirts and short tops who was also married, but they looked good on her. I feel that it should be the choice of the person. Times have changed, and women should not have to uphold a certain dress code just because their status has changed. If they have the figure to carry it off, why not?
For that matter, I have seen clothing I think is kind of revealing for a ten year old to wear, but it's still seen in the shops. It depends on the person and her parents in that case. 😳

I don't think girls have to dress traditional after marriage unless she chooses to dress that way. My mom and aunt were born in Canada so they don't wear sari or salwar kameez unless they're going to a party or guests are coming over or they just feel like it. All my married cousins except one have all changed their style a bit but thats cuz they chose to. I think it's the girls choice, it shouldn't be mandatory. I know for sure that when i get married i'm not changing anything about my style unless something happens and i can't pull it off anymore.

I think that the girl should not be forced into wearing Indian clothes if she does not want to. At the same time though, if it's a love marriage, and if you know your in-laws are the conservative type, then you should kind of expect that you will need to wear the traditional clothing unless if they tell you it's okay not to.

I didn't mean should girls be forced to wear that stuff -- I mean would you wear it or continue to wear modern clothes?


No Trina, not personally. I kinda... er... said a lot of bad things about you during the Chandni issue. I'm really, really sorry.
