뜻
To stop controlling someone.
문화적 배경
In Pakistani society, 'Baagein' are traditionally held by the eldest male. Loosening them is a sign of modernizing family values. The idiom reflects the high status of cavalry. A 'Mansabdar' (noble) was judged by how he controlled his horses and his men. Sufi poets often use the horse as a metaphor for the soul. Loosening the reins can mean letting the soul find God. Startups in Karachi and Lahore use this phrase to describe 'flat hierarchies' where employees have more say.
Use for Trust

Don't use for objects
Remember, this is about people. Don't say you are 'loosening the reins' of your bicycle.
