Ah, the vidaai is the emotional farewell when the bride leaves her parents' home with the groom. But my wife, Shabnam, and I had a court marriage, just the two of us and two witnesses from the office. There was no last week of rituals, no tearful vidaai from a bedecked bride—only a quiet signing of papers and a shared plate of samosas afterwards. Our big preparation was convincing our families over the phone, a far cry from the ceremonies you ask about, Allah ki meherbani.
