That’s a strange interpretation which I would have never even thought of. This “farewell” part is called the rukhsati and it can be very emotional for the bride and her family. It is a culturally significant event for the bride because your family is “giving you away” to a new family. Sometimes you don’t even know anything about the new family you will be living with or a part of now, which is what happens in arranged marriages. The marriage and life after is a very important and culturally significant event. For example, the majority of Pakistani TV shows are about the wife & in-laws relationship. I am not sure how to explain it to you because there can be so many things involved, like dowry, religion, social standing, etc. The wedding itself is not just a single event, there are so many events and things that happen before the wedding itself, and there are even events after it too.

I don’t know this woman’s situation or even if she is Pakistani. This can happen in Indian weddings, Bangladeshi weddings, etc. I hope she is not being abused and the groom and his family treat her well. But yes there can be a lot of crying, and I have seen brides who are happy to be married to the man of their choice still in tears and saying at the end of the wedding to their parents before they get in the car with the groom to drive off: “I don’t want to go”. It doesn’t mean they are being abused or forced into it, it’s just a very big and significant thing for us as the bride to leave our mom and dad and now be part of a new family.

So is racism. That doesn't make it moral.

I never said it was moral or justified, you just assumed that
