Now i know why i less people are getting married

Lol

Blowin a 100k on a wedding :smokin:

Even if i was stupid rich like Jeff Bezos, I think that’s so wasteful for a one time event. And what happens when you get divorced? Such a waste.

Just get Nikkah over the phone. Best option!

Nah, most people I know get married within reasonable means.
It all comes down to making sure there is common understanding/expectations on both sides.

now a days boys want gf they are scared marriage life and responsibilities

Beta OP by the time you hit puberty you will have enough money to hit the court and get registered. That should be enough

I think the trend is quite sad but I don?t blame individuals because we are living in an era where having a girlfriend has become too easy but having a wife too hard, too costly.

I always felt uneasy about marriage expenses and it seems there is good reason for that.

Everyone is making marriage harder and harder for men. Be it friends or family or laws. I would go as far as to say that even many Islamic speakers are doing that by only telling about rights of wife without balancing it with telling about rights of husband.

I learned about these two young skilled workers here from Pakistan who got married recently. Their situation gave me yet another reminder of this problem. Luckily both of their families back home were cooperative and eventually gave them permission to get married. But many of their friends here started to pile up their expectations such as venue, food, guests, gifts, hotel accommodation, plane tickets, etc. They didn?t had budget for all that and nearly called-off the whole plan after listening to rude comments. But then they somehow got married with zero friends and told everyone later. So far so good but then they had some small dispute over house work and the guy got so much condemnation that his wife felt bad for him and apologized for taking the dispute public. The point I?m trying to make is that it has become very easy for a wife to exploit any shortcoming in her husband and make him suffer. As far as street smart men are concerned, they have the ability to tell a good woman from a bad one. But average men lack that ability hence get scared of marriage.
