Muslima for 1 year!
Assalam Alaikam, i am a practising white revert female and my husband is bangali. My brother in law is getting married next saturday insha'allah and yesterday i went round my husbands familys house for the mendi. My brother-in laws friends were there and their wifes. At one point everyone sat in the same room mixed and i tried to stay out in the corridor with another practising girl but my father in law told me to go sit down. I had to sit next to my brother in law and feed him a piece of food on a cocktail stick while they took photos! I was so uncomfortable and i even said no i don't want to do it, Its not islamic but everyone was saying "go on, go on". My hubby just stood there and didnt stick up for me. I got out as soon as i could. I dont think my parents in law were very happy with me. I feel disappointed my husband didnt have my back. I was so embarrased what with everyone looking at me. I know it's the culture but the whole situation seemed so backwards. Am i blowing this out of proportion. It's a big deal to me and no one else seems to understand except for one of my friends who was horrified when i told her. So my question is the above. How far do you go to please the people around you? Jazakallah.
