In our
traditional culture, a girl's life completely change after marriage. I can't
say too much about other religious culture because I have not enough
information about them but yeah, I can say very clear this, for Hindu culture
because after marriage there are some such things are added in her daily life
which are must, wait wait wait..., not in her daily life but on her body, like
ManglaSutra, Bindi, Sindoor... etc.
I can't say
about you, but i can feel how much it is difficult to follow this same routine
for her, after taking bath you must to do 'SHRINGAR', you can't remove
CHOODIYAAN, you can't forgot SHINDOOR, you can't remove BICHIYA otherwise
"will be terrible sin :)". Have you ever think why these all things
are must, if YES, that's a nice thing but if your answer is NO, I explain.
Recently, something happened which was forcing me to find the answer of "why it is must from a long time?” I started with my family but I could not find the answer and it was weird because they were doing this from a long time without a perfect reason, they were just doing, doing, and just doing only because this world is also doing the same things and they were teaching this to their new generation too. There was something who was telling me 'something is wrong going on' because it is like we follows someone's rules without knowing that who is/are behind of them, why these have been made and why we should to follow them. The other way, I had GOOGLE was to find answer to all of these. So, I made a small list of those things which is necessary to wear for a married female:
● SINDOOR (also called SINDOORAM is a traditional
vermillion red or orange-red colored cosmetic power, usually worn by married
women along the part of their hair).
● BINDI (a colored dot worn on the center of
the forehead, commonly by Hindu and Jain women)
●
MANGALSUTRA (a
necklace that the groom ties around the bride's neck in India and sub-India countries,
which identifies her as a married women)
●
CHOODIYAN (Bangles
are considered inauspicious to be bare armed for a married woman)
● WEDDING
RING (first examples
were found in ancient Egypt, indicate that its wearer is married, also wear by
men but must for women)
● BICHIYA (Toe Rings would put on the toes and never
removed. The rings would show that the woman is married, in some other
cultures men also wear)
And I started
searching one by one and the result was found, I just kept looking at it with a
smile, the reason of my smile will be found after knowing the all beliefs
behind them, so let's first start with SINDOOR or SINDOORAM:
SINDOOR: Hindus believe that Goddess PARVATI
protects all those men whose wives apply vermilion to their parting of
hair.
BINDI: Bindi is worn by married women as
commitment to long-life and well-being of their husbands.
MANGALSUTRA:
According to Hindu
traditional the MangalSutra is worn for the long-life of the husbands.
CHOODIYAN (Bangles): Are symbolizes the
well-being of her husband and sons.
RING: By wearing the ring on the fourth finger
of the left hand, a married couple symbolically
declares their external LOVE for each other’s.
TOE RINGS:
Toe rings have been
indicated to be worn to regulate the menstrual cycle.
So, I was smiling because after seeing this my mind raised a question, "Is their life a beg given by theirs wives?" because most of the things have been made for husband's long-life, you can see 'KARVACHOTH' (a festival) in which a married woman cannot eat & drink until the moon goes out and after that she worships her husband and breaks her fast. I can't say about you whether you can see or not but I can see very clear, there are something happening wrong in a large scale from a long time. Which was designed for selfishness and it was shown, as if it were all for their benefit. It seems as though what we are seeing today is only what they wanted to show us and the reality is hidden somewhere in history. I am not saying these all things on the based on only this article, I have some theories which forces to see the history with suspicion bit I will not discuss those theories in this article because there is a lot of work left on them.
At the END, I leave a
question for you "Is it really must?" My answer is very clear,
don't know about you.
I know this is UPRISING but "It is must".
Thank you
