vintageindianclothing: A MOCK WEDDING is enacted by Pakistani girls. The “bride”, Raiza Khanum (who appears on LIFE’s cover) wears a gay head scarf used for festive events. To exchange rings is a local custom, not practiced through Islam. Photo caption, LIFE, 9 May 1955. Bit of a dress up wedding with a chain and pendant filling in for a mang tikka. The woman on the right of the “bride” wears the collared kameez popular in the 50s. And of course hair ribbons. -- source link
