Superstitious Beliefs – Our ancient beliefs in India are taken to be unworthy in most of the situations related to the superstitious beliefs, few are found to be true which has a reason behind the obligations created by the ancestors that we know as orthodox.
Though all the of them are not true few of them are still what we believe somehow or the other and cannot deny at all after knowing the reason behind it, that is given with reason.

Flat Foot or Low Arch
You may often hear that low arch feet or flat feet are unlucky, mostly in women. In older days in arrange marriages the feet of the women were seen, if they were found to be flat or low arch then they believed that the girl was unlucky for them.
Both men and women can suffer from the low arch feet that can be genetic or may be at the older ages. Few people may not feel any difference in their body while few people may suffer from pain in their knees or any other parts of their body.
So, it is wrong to blame a woman for bringing bad luck after marriage as if can be in both men and women.
