When a girl bows down it doesn't mean that the groom is superior to her! It simply signifies the respect she has for him.

The actual reason behind why u should not sit on pillows...

do not sweep, mop or shower when someone steps out of the house...

Why aren't we allowed to sweep and mop the house or even shower immediately after someone steps out of the house? the reason being is that people normally sweep and mop the house and immediately take a shower when there's a funeral in the house and when the deceased is take to the graveyard to be cremated or buried. so when u sweep/mop the house or even take a shower right after someone steps out it signifies a funeral. that is why it is best to avoid sweeping and mopping the house or taking a shower right after someone steps out of the house.
