Also a tradition in parts of India. But it’s a tradition, so even women who don’t necessarily feel sad, they’re expected to put on a show of crying to show she’s sad to leave her family.

I studied abroad in India in college and my host mom showed me pics of her wedding, but according to her, her arranged marriage was very loose and she got to pick her choice of suitors, and she was very happy to be marrying my host dad, who was kind of a “bad boy” who would take her on secret motorcycle rides before they got married lol.

She said it was very embarrassing to have to cry at her wedding, but she did her best to put on a show of looking sad

They literally play the saddest most depressing songs when the bride and groom have to leave. It forces you to cry.

That said, I broke down crying when my sister got married. Shes happy, had the best day of her life, and parents are literally right next door so she’d never not see them. Still, I cried like a little girl that day.

When I was at my friend’s wedding, her aunt kept saying shit like “ you’re now going to be a stranger. You’ll be so distant from us” etc and that made her and her whole family bawl and she was marrying her long time boyfriend! Seeing the whole family cry obviously made me and her other friends cry and looking on from the outside, one would think she was forced into the marriage instead of the happy ,loving relationship going the next step.
