Its pretty common in sindhi weddings to immediately change the bride's first name along with obviously taking husband's last name. I was so shocked when some of my cousins' new bride's names were changed in a cringeworthy ceremony..during the nuptial ceremony; the pundit suggests an auspicious alphabet and the whole family decides the new first name.. within matter of minutes you have a whole new name...no one even asks if the new name is okay with the bride!!!
🌹What is in a name? Khaandaan ki saari izzat, apparently.
