According to social rules existing during Molla's day, brides didn't show themselves to their future husbands prior to marriage.

On Molla's wedding day, his wife unveiled her face to him and asked, "Tell me, which of your relatives can I see without covering my face?" Molla replied, "Show your face to whomever you want; just make sure you keep it covered in my presence!"
