An excellent topic....you know you should put this in religious forum...if you wana see it in pakistan culture than its not that different than hindu cultures but a muslim should live by the islamic rule well one should try to live with islamic rule...i think its MAJOR waste of money people do it to show off you know...i think giving money to bride and marajjj jee is the best they can do what ever they want with it and they dont have to complain about things that they dont like and have to give those things to kaammi who work in the house...
