Similarly, a display of culture in public is fascinating, whether in terms of a public show, a local movie, or a marriage party. Nothing is related to Islamic Law and practices, for example, lighting candles around the bride, throwing money over the couple's head. The highest Islamic practices are kissing and keeping over the head a copy of the Quran. They hardly open the book or try to read it. Fashion is at its peak.
Young girls try to be a model with artificial eyebrows, lipstick, and other foreign cosmetics.
Rich housewives spend a couple of hours and several hundred rupees in a beauty parlor before going to a party. Pakistan is one of the poorest countries in the U.N. directory, but it appears a lie if you are attending an upper class wedding party. In an average party estimated women are wearing at least ten million rupees worth of gold. At least forty such parties go on every day and there are many cities. Even the so-called leftists, who never stop shouting against the imperialistic, satanic U.S. and her evil designs, actually practice just the opposite.
