These trends on the internet where common people are breaking stereotypes by voicing their opinion on social media is actually a breakthrough. Marriage has always been an issue in the sub-continent. Be it dowry, proposals, or expectations from either side; the cultural effects of these events are getting severe every day.

With time, everything changes. These century-old customs and norms associated with marriage and its procedures need to end and people are very vocal about it now. This recent trend where women all around Pakistan are sharing this status on Facebook clearly depicts how a girl is judged during her wedding. This is something every girl from the age of 20 onwards must have faced…

Here it is…

These norms that are to be strictly followed, otherwise you DO NOT fall under the umbrella of a “good” bride. These things occupy so much of the living space that we tend to forget that we too have some desires. That very need to be considerate in society, so we are not outcasted from this culture is now overpowering. “Log kia kaheingy” is more important to our society in general than doing a sane and sober thing of your own choice.

Some people joined in the march of this post and shared their views…

A lot of people are quiet for this reason k “Log Kia Kahein Gy”

Waiting for the day when simple things in life would be allowed to enjoy simply by our culture

Apni marzi is not even an option now. Society’s way or the highway!

Yes, indeed. Just as charity starts at home. These changes will only have an impact on society as whole if we start doing this from our own houses first

For many reasons, this viral status is right. One of them is putting an unnecessary burden on families and the girl who is going to get married. Going through so much pressure you lose the essence and beauty of a simple event.

Let us know your thoughts on this in the comments below. What you think should be done to lessen the effect of these norms and “talks”? Adios.
