These days a new and interesting trend is spreading rapidly in Muslim weddings. Before the marriage, the groom’s sister-in-laws and the bride’s friends get a written agreement signed, which includes conditions ranging from taking the bride abroad to helping in cooking and household chores.
A glimpse of the changing times is also visible in the marriages of Muslim society. There was a time when the bride’s sisters and her friends would appear after the Nikah on the stage of the wedding hall or in a separate room during the ceremony to greet the groom. The scope of joking with the groom used to be limited only to shoe theft, but in the changing times, a new and interesting tradition is being born. During the wedding rituals, the sisters-in-law and the bride’s friends are getting the groom to sign an agreement.
It is clearly written in this agreement that after marriage, the groom will take the bride on foreign trips, will help in household work and will maintain equality in marital life. This ritual, which started as a joke and for fun, is now becoming a trend. Experts believe that with changing times, marriage rituals are also changing. Today’s generation considers partnership, respect and understanding as the first conditions in relationships. In such a situation, the agreement between the sisters-in-law is not only fun but also gives new social signals.
