Almost every aspect of the marriage ceremony today in our community is alien to Islãm, based on pagan tradition handed down to us from our forefathers or copied from other communities.
From engagement to honeymoon and everything in between stag/hen nights, Mendhi party, Mo’harue, the hiring of a wedding car, the arrival party for the bride, the blessing of the groom, the wedding and engagement rings, the wedding dress, the tiara (crown), the wedding cake, the exhibiting of the bride and the groom to the public,
the photographic sessions, the return of the bride to her parents after a fortnight and many more are all customs derived from non-Islamic cultures. As for the Muslims from the Indian sub-continent they have amassed both Christian and Hindu traditions in their weddings.
