Even amid the pandemic, the weddings in the country have been in full swing! And a common trend among these weddings is getting ‘XYZ ki dulhan’ on nikkah dupattas, as if people attending wouldn’t have known the man’s name.
Seeing a rise in the trend, a twitter user questioned the need for such dupattas:
Also bridal dupattas with xyz ki dulhan and abc ki beti written on them 😭😭 girl are u cattle? Are u sheep? are you a honda civic? the wedding industrial complex will kill me. 😩

And the internet stands divided as usual, here’s what people had to say:
i mean why write anything on the dupatta at all? saw this perfectly beautiful nikkah dress but its dupatta said “QUBOOL HAI” in such a huge font please 😭😭😭 banner lagwana hai tou background mein lagwa lou dulhan ko kyun pehna rahay hoooo

Some knew what they wanted:
Mines going to say “I did it for the clothes”

True…
this aside even the aesthetics of such dupattas are very questionable

Same!
If I knew we could write stuff on the dupatta I'd have written Boss Bitch on mine

People were comparing how men would never wear something that says ‘XYZ ka dulha:’
you'll never ever see see a man with xyz ki dhula written on his waistcoat. women need to stop making their partners their entire identity. https://t.co/JxJn5sarOY

And while some found the trend to be cringe-worthy, others didn’t mind it:

Live and let live!
It is not up to you to tell other women what should make them happy on their wedding day.
Eat a cookie!I personally don't like this trend either & would probably not do it but forcing your own choices on others & ridiculing them for theirs is disgusting https://t.co/2lOtN8jvmv

Let them do whatever makes them happy without judging them? Please. https://t.co/KQyJknGSWh

It’s the bride’s happiness that matters:
My Bhabi wore a duppata like that on her wedding. We personally don’t like that style but she was happy wearing it and it was her day. As far as the bride is happy and we aren’t imposing anything All is good!!! https://t.co/eOTsfiAJ4F
