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.. |

Polygamy is having more than one spouse at a time...not specifically more than one wife.
Polygyny is having more than one wife at a time |

Re: Memon Pride
chhari nikkah = a nikkah with men only in attendance (ijazat is taken from the woman at her home, i guess)

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...
