A Faceless Marriage
|
More shocking news!
Then I have heard a woman gasping when she saw on TV, the American presidential candidate Hillary kissing Bill, her husband in public, and that too right on the mouth. Believe it or not, this lady has never allowed her husband to kiss her on the lips in their twenty plus years, not even in the privacy of their bedroom. And don't think it is a case of bad breath. The lady has been brought up to think that lip locking is dirty business. I don't know what the husband, who happens to be a doctor, feels about this.
Once upon a time in India it was a common practice to see the spouse's face only on the wedding night. In Hindi films, one can still see the romanticized version of the tradition where the groom lifts the ghoonghat that is a kind of veil from the bride's face on the wedding night. This tradition may have faded but is not entirely dead, mind you. Very recently I met a highly educated young man from a very rich but very conservative Muslim family staying in a metro city. He saw his wife's face only after marriage last year. Fortunately for him, his parents had found a very pretty girl, he said laughingly.
On being asked, how you can have children with a man who never sees your face, the above mentioned Saudi lady replied that marriage is about love, not faces.
Well, can we call it faceless love? What do you have to say about this?
