@Enigmatica

it’s just too much burden on the girls parents.

i mean they have to gifts gold jewellery watches and loads of clothes to everyone immediate and extended family
to top it off, lots and lots of jahez with all the crockery and furniture and electronics

then arrange for two or at least three functions (engagement, mehndi, barat)

and MOST IMPORTANTLY …giving the daughter away too

it’s sad …isnt it.

am already stressing how my parents would manage the entire shadi, with SOO much inflation and high rates of gold in Pak

I know… its honestly too much… and the high rates in gold are everywhere.. not just Pak unfortunately My mom is like omg…why didn’t we buy stuff years ago

@Gemini_the_Great

No one in my family gave gifts to larkay walay or vice versa.. I didn’t even take jahaiz (both of us husband and wife bought everything on our own in Pakistan as I lived there for six months after rukhsati) However, my mom insisted on giving gold and clothes to me.. gold is sitting in the bank since I dun like to wear any..I bought only 10 kaam walay joray and I have worn them all at least once.. I am over and done with my jahaiz ke kapray too

Thats awesome! I wish more families were like yours in this regard! It’s also really nice to hear that you have worn your kapray and that they didn’t just sit there in suitcases like I hear alot of girls saying! Very reasonable.
