forgotten tradition

There is an old tradition associated with charshanbe soori that is now forgotten in most parts of Iran. Although I understand that it is mostly due to the change in life style, it’s a shame anyway.
At sunset, a lover boy who had decided to express his love to his sweetheart would wrap a pomegranate in a handkerchief with some kind of embroidery to show who it belongs to. He would then leave the handkerchief outside the window for his secret love to find. Hoping she would accept and keep the handkerchief.
A boy afraid of being rejected if he would ask a father for his daughter’s hand would go to an older person and ask for their help. They would arrange for the girl to be taken to a hide away and would then negotiate with the girl’s family to convince them to allow the young man to marry their daughter.
Another love-filled tradition forgotten … I wish we would at least replace these traditions with something new that would fit our lifestyle.
