Marriage in Pakistan (Urdu: پاکستانی شادی‎) pertains to wedding traditions established and adhered by Pakistani men and women.Before the wedding: Searching for a potential groom or bride (رشتہ تلاش کرنا) is the first step of traditional Pakistani marriages. Beyond age 20, both men and women are considered potential grooms and brides. Most marriages in Pakistan are traditional arranged marriages, semi-arranged marriages or love marriages.Once a decision has been made by either the man or woman or both, one or more representatives of the potential grooms family pay a visit to the potential brides family. In arranged marriages, the first visit is purely for the parties to become acquainted with one another and does not include a formal proposal. Once both parties are in agreement, a proposal party (شادی کا پیام) is held at the brides home, where the grooms parents and family elders formally ask the brides parents for her hand in marriage. Depending on individual family traditions, the bride-to-be may also be presented with an gifts such as jewelry and a variety of gifts. Some religious families may also recite Surah Al-Fatihah.An engagement (called nisbat نِسبت, mangni منگنی or habar bandi حبر بندی) is a formal ceremony to mark the engagement of the couple. It is usually a small ceremony that takes place in the presence of a few close members of the would-be brides and grooms families. Rings and other items of jewelry among affluent families are exchanged between the would-be bride and groom. In traditional engagement ceremonies, the bride and the groom are not seated together, and the rings are placed on the brides finger by the grooms mother or sister, and vice versa. A prayer (Dua) and blessings are then recited for the couple, and the wedding date isRasm-e-Heena (رسمی حنا) or mehndi (مہندی) is a ceremony that is named after henna, a dye prepared from the Lawsonia inermis plant which is mixed into a paste form to apply onto the hands of the bride and groom. This event is held a few days before the main wedding ceremony and was traditionally held separately for the bride and the groom. The groom will typically wear a casual black or white shalwar qameez, sherwani or western suit while the bride will typically wear an embroidered brightly colored shalwar kameez, sari or lehnga.Nikah (نِكاح) is the formal marriage ceremony where a marriage contract(نکاح نامہ) is signed by both the bride and the groom in presence of family members. The nikah is performed by an Imam, Mufti, Sheikh or Mullah, who is licensed by the government to perform this ritual. The bride and groom must both have two witnesses present to ensure that the marriage is consensual.Rukhsati (رُخصتی) - sending off (sometimes called Doli (ڈولی) - palanquin) takes place when the groom and bride leave the Nikkah venue together. In order to bless and protect the couple, the Quran is held over the brides head as she leaves, and even though the Quranmay be involved, there is no basis in Islam or Muslim tradition for the Rukhsati. Muslim cultures outside the Indian subcontinent generally do not practice the rukhsati tradition.A dinner is served which consists of several dishes with meat featuring heavily in the meal. Some of the well represented dishes in a wedding meal include pullao, biryani, chaanp, chargha, various forms of roasted fowl and lamb, various forms of kebabs, naan, shirmal, Taftan, Falooda, Kulfi etc. .Walima (ولِيمہ) is the final day of the wedding held by the couple as they host their first dinner as husband and wife. This is to celebrate the consummation of husband and wife. This is traditionally organized by the bridegroom and/or his family thus, without his parents, this ritual normally cannot be performed. So to make walima valid, the parents blessing and presence is the most important factor.
