Mangaluru: Coronavirus pandemic puts brakes on lavish weddings


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (MS)

Mangaluru, Aug 12: Many have died and lost their livelihood due to coronavirus pandemic. However, some have benefitted also. Coronavirus has put brakes on the atrocities that were committed on the parents of girls in the name of dowry and also the lavish marriage expenses, which usually the parents of the bride had to bear.

Due to the coronavirus rules, a maximum of 50 people can attend a marriage party. This has immensely benefited the middle-class people. Now they can conduct the marriage in a simple manner without shelling out lac of rupees.

 

There are many examples wherein the families of brides had to literally sell their house, land etc in order to repay the loan that was taken for the marriage expense of their daughters. However, the coronavirus pandemic has helped the middle and poor class people heave a sigh of relief when it comes to expenses of marriage.

Now the marriages are being held in a simple manner and in real traditional style. Earlier, the grooms used to demand that marriage must take place in specific halls and a party has to be thrown the day before the marriage etc. But coronavirus has put brakes on all these demands.

    This 50 people only attending marriage rule should remain. Girls parents when they get good boy they have to accordingly arrange daughters marriage in posh hall just to keep boys side happy. Then lifelong they have to clear the loan they made marriage time. All this can stop with these new rules.

    Instead of thinking about what your guests think, do what you actually want. Remember that your wedding day is above all about you and your spouse and the love you share, so take a deep breath and think about what is actually important.

    As Santosh, Mangalore wrote below, "Your 1000 or more guests will not come to your rescue if problems arise in your marriage but will start and spread rumours instead. Only your close ones stay with you." Your main concern should be staying together in love forever and not falling in debt forever !!

    It is a fantastic thing that has happened. . people spend in lacs and crores just to show off.. Undue pressure on families that cannot afford ... Yes jobs will be lost ... But new opportunities will come

    But no longer brides parents will say daughter is a burden .. This wasteful expense of calling thousands of people .. wasting money, paper, material and also food. . in a way , at least the newly wed can start their married life with a positive bank balance

    Couple or family can spend on future needs. Also, avoids unnecessary expenditure where multiple parties are eagerly waiting to charge double without paying any tax!

    Weddings had become a big time show off business. Overcharging was common right from Master of Ceremonies, DJs, Music Bands, Catering, etc and the middle men who call themselves 'Event Managers'. Hope this 50 person wedding guest rule stays. Like in USA and other western countries only the close family/friends will attend the wedding. Your 1000 or more guests will not come to your rescue if problems arise in your marriage but will start and spread rumours instead. Only your close ones stay with you.
