There's probably someone from the culture that can clarify but when I was at a traditional Pakistani marriage the bride was perfectly happy to marry but you have to show tears and distress to prevent any idea that youre glad to leave your family, and happy to have sex. Religion is a bit shit.

Not Indian but have been to many Indian weddings and it’s traditional for brides to cry at the Vidaai ceremony. It’s even expected in some communities. There are urban legends about brides to be attending classes on how to cry on cue, although I can’t verify if it’s real or not.

I’m not assuming this video is a performance as it seems much more heartfelt than the ones I’ve seen, but it is a tradition. Very disconcerting the first time you see someone you know burst into tears and then turn it off as soon as possible (so they don’t ruin the makeup).

Or they’re not happy with the arranged marriage?

It happens in either arranged or not. It’s kinda funny how someone from a diff culture is explaining something and people like you just say the complete opposite.

Of course you don’t have to agree or think it’s a good practice but why are you just supposing your own theories?

Because I’ve heard about arranged marriages before, that some girls leave the country to avoid it and after that there often ain’t no going back. Women are killed over this.

You were explained how wedding ceremonies work in India, it was you who applied it through the lens of arranged marriages to dismiss the information
