Wearing "Kaali Poth"

Q: My wife wears "Kaali Poth" which married Muslim women wear in Andhra Pradesh, India. Is it haraam to wear it? Will her Salaat be valid if she prays wearing it? 

A: If this has got any superstition and has something to do with Hinduism or any other religion or it is a way or the dress of people who are not committed to Deen then avoid it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
