🌍

文化的背景

In Pakistan, this proverb is often used by elders to instill religious and moral values in children, as lying (Kizb) is strictly forbidden in Islam. Classical poets often use the 'limbless lie' imagery to contrast with the 'eternal' nature of truth (Haq). Lawyers in Pakistan often use this proverb during cross-examinations to rattle a witness who is suspected of perjury. On Urdu social media, 'Jhoot ke paon nahi hote' is a common hashtag used when a viral fake video is debunked.
