Really strange are those habits and traditions practiced by Muslim
peoples in the many parts of the Muslim world. In Patan in Thailand, the
bride is responsible for preparing everything. This involves the wedding
clothes for herself and her groom and even preparing the house.
In Jawa; Indonesia, the bride hosts her groom in her father’s house
for 90 consecutive days representing the honey moon. During that period,
the groom does not exert the least effort. All he has to do is to stay
with his bride and make works for her happiness.
In Yemen, it is totally strange. As soon as they reach their new house
and most accurately upon her first step on the new house, the groom
hurries to put his foot on his bride’s. If the bride succeeds in
pulling her foot before him, this gives her the right to keep the
position of household. However, if the groom proves strong and did not
allow her foot to be pulled, he will be the master and the responsible
for every thing in the house.
Variant and strange are these habits indeed. In this section, we will
have a close up of these habits. In our journey, we will declare that we
accept all that is Islamic and reject all that contradicts our religion.
