Hindu weddings in Pakistan are very well organised and a lot of fun, much like other weddings of the people who reside in Karachi.

Congratulations to the couples and I hope they have a better life in the future.

Btw, the best wedding food I ever had of any group was at a Bohra wedding.

This is good to hear that no attacks happened. I have heard about this Mr. Ehdi. A very wonderful social worker.

No attacks have ever taken place during weddings in Karachi. The city is host to streets full of wedding halls and they are all lit up every day for weddings.

Also such multiple Hindu weddings are very common and excellent way of keeping the financial strain on poor Hindu families limited.

The well off Hindu's pay for such group weddings through their council.

I will get married in these places.

Just gotta find a wife now.

Mass wedding trend is getting popularity here in Pakistan and the interesting thing is that couples are given free gold, dowry and wedding dresses.

All this is done through charity collected by the concerned groups working for this.
