Dual Standards of Pakistani Society

I had this thing on my mind since a long time, just wanted to share. I used to think, it was pure Illiteracy /ignorance phase as a nation when we were blindly following bogus customs of dowry, gold gifts to inlaws, clothes for the whole family on every damn occasion and this that. I always thought, our elders won't learn, my generation or subsequent generations will break the norms. So, now the situation with us foreign qualified or best local universities qualified, being exposed to the best of both worlds etc is that we are crossing lines even our elders couldn't think of crossing. We have to do bridal showers costing as much as the little wedding itself, extreme elaborative pre-wedding parties from milad to dholkis to mayoon mehndi filled with more dances, DJs and cameraman than an actual Bollywood movie, not to mention hand painted dance floors and whatnot. Birthdays, baby showers are a whole other topic. Every girl is clad in more expensive originals or replicas then ever in history, dresses getting shorter and wasting endless time to perfect dance moves. Is this the change all the education had to bring? Are we better than our ancestors? Just writing no to dowry on palms with mehndi stamps and posting on Instagram is enough?.when all the while, parents and families have to spend tons more money in combustible events that go in smoke? Dowry is still a curse but at least that money got good used for 20 years but this is even worse. When we succumb to theme bday parties for our kids, we are heading to even more entitled, extremely difficult to stimulate future generation which is already 60 or so percent going to take drugs as per statistics show at this day and time. So, we need to ask are we any better?

Events from real life

1.        Since my middle school to high school, my teachers as well as my parents advised me not to go anywhere without their permission, especially at the places where I can face the bad stares of males having bad intentions. The educators had an eye on us for sake of check and balance (because parents asked for it) that their students might not get emotionally involved in someone, as they were of the view that in teenage, sexual desire can be sparked only through a ‘Loving Gaze’ from the opposite gender and finally ended up in losing virginity. In context of my past experience, now, being on a mature person level, I can term those restrictions analogous to “VIRGINITY VOUCHER: DON’T BUY THE LIE, SAVE SEX FOR MARRIAGE” (VALENTI 2009: 31), as my parents as well as sex educators in school, believe on the Religious myth (on which virginity movement based on) that premarital sex is a sin, so they imposed restrictions on me so that I could save my virginity ...
