So assume getting married is buying property.
Baat pakki/roka = offer accepted
Engagement = earnest money given
Wedding = closing

Baat pakki is kinda like escrow though, na?
Like a verbal commitment. Social contract sort of.
Documented by eating the mithai and taking pictures!

This basically means the wedding has been entered into Salesforce. There are still many steps to go.
Baat pakki is basically agreement between the families, ie parents and uncle/aunties hovering over the heads of the two people that they’re good with them getting married.
It’s like order has been placed but Amazon hasn’t shipped your stuff yet!!😂

Order has been added to cart but cart has not been committed yet.
A question 🙋. Why are you calling yourself Abcd?

OP... this tradition dates back to when the folks getting married were in diapers and the 2 families agreed to getting into marriage. Once the kids come of age the marriage ceremonies would take place which would include an engagement ceremony. This is one of many traditions/events in a marriage that don't necessarily need to take place today but happen as and when required.
Baat pakki = parents okay with their respective children engaging in hanky panky
