anyway, marriage is not 2 person issue, it 2 families issue, for her case, must add 2 races issue.
the mat maybe chin cai type but what about his family? peer pressure very powerful inside malay community. look at the current tudang wearing campaign, most of them, 80% of those tudang wearing women don't step inside mosque even once a year. most of them even bet on 4D and Toto, they not at all religious in the first place.
The real reason so many wear tudang and wear those gunny sack clothing is because must follow the trend, it the "IN" thing, especially those mom with school going children, normally become friend friend with each other while waiting at the school gate. They will gossip on malay women who not in same "fashion" as them, so to blend in, so must wear the same stuff. My mat colleague driver told me the above as his wife ask him for $$ to buy those clothings. He kpkb because of it as to him it a waste of money, especially his wife previous styling was those tight fitting minah fashion, that mean he must pay as she replace everything.
