Babul (बाबुल pronounced baabul) is an old Hindi term for father indicating a daughter's affection. In south Asian countries (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), the conclusion of a daughter's marriage, marked by the bidaai (farewell) ceremony, is a profoundly sad occasion, because after this she leaves her father's house and permanently relocates to her husband's family. The moment thus marks the end of her past life and the beginning of a new one.

- Babul (बाबुल pronounced baabul) is an old Hindi term for father indicating a daughter's affection. In south Asian countries (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), the conclusion of a daughter's marriage, marked by the bidaai (farewell) ceremony, is a profoundly sad occasion, because after this she leaves her father's house and permanently relocates to her husband's family. The moment thus marks the end of her past life and the beginning of a new one. The expression of this sentiment varies in south Asian culture, but is usually in the formed of hushed sobs, while maintaining sober calmness and composure. This sentiment is often reflected (and exaggerated) in Bollywood and regional films particularly, although the associated melodramatic twists and turns common in movies are rare in reality. The term is now mainly used in the context of a newly married daughter leaving her father's home in many Hindi songs.
