While Liz is probably a total Bridezilla biatch, she doesn’t need to completely conform to her husband’s culture!! He is marrying into a culture, too (plus, he’s the result of a mixed marriage).

FYI: “Anon” touched on this, but Jessie, since you seemed unclear – “prima facie” can be translated as “on its face”. It means that the facts of a case speak for themselves, but unlike Anon’s comment, it can actually help keep a case in court. Example: a sponge is found in a patient’s body cavity after surgery. You’ve made a prima facie case that the doctor incorrectly left the sponge in the patient, because any other explanation for the sponge’s presence would be implausible.

In any case, the religious suit seems a bit extreme. I believe in respecting cultures, but like any other country, India is a country of contradictions – child prostitution is sizeable there, and widows are traditionally banished and mistreated after their husbands die. Despite any religious prosecutors, I think these are greater offenses that could be punished.

In Madras/Chennai in South India, we even had to take our shoes off in the church.

Our favorite was the Sikh temple–they had sinks and little pools outside so you could wash your feet and hands before going in. They lent us coverings for our heads and offered to feed us.

I don’t see why she wouldn’t just take off the silly shoes and wear the necklace.

Just FYI….
A prima facie showing just means that you present to the court basic evidence that shows you actually have a case. It pretty much is a way of throwing out cases very early on that have no merit whatsoever.

I agree with jinty. If you marry into a different culture, you have to respect the customs, particularly if you want your wedding ceremony to be conducted in accordance with their customs. Liz wanted a BIG fairy tale, not a real Indian wedding. I always knew she was pushy and lacked sensitivity. I don’t think this marriage will last.

i am a british born indian (hindu) although v.westernised.

in my view – if you welcome or absorb yourself in anothers culture then customs should be respected.

in indian culture it is respectable to take of ones shoes when entering a temple – this is common knowledge.

liz h is a dumbass for not adhering – poss because she didnt want to look short – superfical bitch.

This marraige is off to a sporting start. Liz married outside of her culture. She should respect the rules and traditions of another culture, if you don’t, then you will rankor the natives. That said, the parents should overlook a lot in order to maintain family harmony. THAT said, who the heck would want Liz Hurley, fembot, into any sane family? All I can say is I know who wears the pants in that family, it’s Bridezilla!

Arun looks totally P.W.’d in that picture. I’d be willing to bet he is in real life as well, marrying that harpie.
