Re: Memon Pride
I was thinking it's like when 2 couples get married at the same function like, 2 brothers having a joint wedding?
 It would be interesting if there was really a term for one man marrying four women at once...I wonder how it originated since it's never really been a norm amongst Memons..more than one wife is rare, four is like almost unheard of (at the same time) Then again I can't really tell if that's a Memon exclusive term or borrowed from another language..

Re: Memon Pride
You know, I can understand some of this Memon lingo - it has some resemblance of my almost-punjabi dialect.
"Theek ai" is something I hear day to day...
