I wasn't surprised at all that the entire wedding process in Pakistani culture is ALMOST the same with Indonesian culture. One that I found really interesting though was the Nikah (Religious ceremony) because not only the terms is the same but the concept of the Nikah itself is pretty similar although there's no Ijab Qabul (marriage vow) in the Pakistani culture. However, the set of the religious ceremony is the same with the set of a vakil (lawyer), 2 male witnesses, the groom amd a maulvi (priest). Aside from that, no alcohol involvement is also applied in both Pakistani culture and Indonesian culture, besides who wants to wake up in the morning with terrible hang over right? hahaha just kidding ;p

ReplyDeleteIt must be very easy for you to find the distinct differences between Indonesian culture and Pakistani from what you are saying. It seems that because the cultures are very similar it is easier to find the difference because they would stick out more to you.
