Indian-American mom forces tomboy daughter into formal wear for wedding

An Indian-American mother is under fire for forcing her tomboy daughter to wear formal wear for her niece's traditional Indian wedding. The mother, who considers herself progressive, has always been supportive of her daughter's tomboy style, but insisted that she dress appropriately for the occasion. The daughter refused to wear a traditional Indian dress and instead wanted to wear a T-shirt and slacks. The mother insisted that she wear formal clothing of her choice and even offered to let her pick out a suit or a dress. The daughter got angry and accused her mother of constricting her expression. The wedding has been postponed, but the mother still wants her daughter to wear formal wear. Many people are divided on whether the mother is in the wrong or not. Some believe it's important to teach children to dress appropriately for formal events, while others believe that children should be allowed to express themselves however they want. What do you think?
