Greeting, my fellow Nuffians, Today, I come to you with a question about wedding customs. I tried researching this myself, but most answers I found were in Sanskrit(??), Hindi(??), in a language I do not understand. My question is, does the concept of "in-laws" exist after two people get married like in western cultures?? Would the groom's sister say, "We will be sisters soon," to the bride?? From what I understand, the woman gets taken into the man's household, but I am at a blank after that. What is the relationship with the rest of the family?? Thanks for your time~
Almost all our afternoon time shop operas are based on the MIL DIL rivalries..... scheming SIL and stuff...
hmm let me correct ya do you mean on India culture or Balinese culture? if you search on hindi that mean India culture~ currently there different between Hinduism on India and Bali (or at Indonesia on general sense) on culture of Indonesia on general yes "in law" exist so do on Bali culture, nothing to do with hinduism tho~ the relationship in law huh, similar to west~ why this cat mention Bali? cuz for common cat this cat know Hinduism prevail on India and Bali mother in law dad in law sister in law basically conflict with in law family is kinda popular troupe across Asia, usually one member or some or whole family against MC marriage for whatever reason~ usually different status because of economy or social
hmmm on religion view there no really specific stuff about in law, there more thing about father, mother and ancestor stuff~ on Bali it more about local culture that predate hinduism gospel fuse with religion than the other way around~ similar to western that dominate by Christian perhaps? on sense wedding on church culture~ if you put more info about in law relationship ono west, this cat may give comparison
kin-ship by marriage. What you have in mind is probably correct. But, if there is no mention of it in terms of scripture, then it probably is something that was adopted from outside cultures. Well, with the wife being taken in by the other family, for one reason or another, it's kinda like a daughter-in-law, so it wouldn't have been too hard for the concept to have been adopted. fumu...
Nah, marriage in theory is supposed to be not just between two people but two families or some crap. And unlike say in English were uncle can mean uncle on both side, indian languages have different words for both sides.
different words as in this is the uncle from the husband's side of the family and this is the uncle from the wife's side of the family??
it is daughter in law or on some case son in law if groom marry into female family how the standing on western sphere tho? is the couple become independent family? family branch of one side? or it become case to case depend on region / country culture? talk about wedding custom on India it seem there ceremony circle holy fire (based on movie stuff dunno which part of India do that) while at Bali nope there such thing~ for scripture "in law" topic touch lightly on Hindu Epic, Mahabharata and Ramayana~ it contain Hinduism view toward various stuff most about philosophy tho
Oh, that is what you were asking about. In western culture, there isn't so much a marrying into a family, but the new husband and wife leave their previous families behind to start a new family of their own. They movee into a new house and start life together. I believe this is more or less how it is regardless if where you go unless there are circumstances like being broke... This isn't to say they cut off all ties with the previous families, but more that they are now responsible for standing on their own.
Yes like, almost every relation has a different word depending on whose side of family it falls in. https://omniglot.com/language/kinship/hindi.htm
so then, specifically, what would the sister of the husband call the wife?? And what would the wife be expected to call the family of her husband?? *....sees the link* nanada is is what the wife calls the sister... The elder brother's wife is called bhabhi... She's called an aunt!?
Nah that is just an error in the table I guess? Bhabhi just means sister-in-law or to refer to like your neighbour or something
