Pakistan: 6 brothers marry 6 sisters in a ceremony without dowry to reduce wedding costs, and the youngest groom is 18 years old

In a unique effort to reduce “exorbitant” wedding expenses, six brothers in Pakistan tied the knot with six sisters in a joint ceremony. The event, held in Punjab province, was reportedly planned over the course of a year, with the brothers waiting until their youngest sibling turns 18 to move forward. according to Raw journalismThe gathering was attended by more than 100 guests.

The grooms expressed their desire to promote simplicity in marriage, in line with Islamic teachings. “We wanted to set an example,” the older brother said. “In many cases, people sell their land just to cover the wedding costs. Our goal was to show that marriages can be simple and without unnecessary financial stress.”

The joint wedding ceremony in Punjab was performed without dowry, which emphasizes its simplicity.

Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh, an unusual marital dispute has made headlines. A woman has filed for divorce just 40 days after her wedding, citing her husband’s severe lack of personal hygiene as the reason. according to India TodayThe woman claimed that her husband showers only once or twice a month, which leads to an unbearable body odor and makes sexual intercourse intolerable.

She sought help from a family counseling center in Agra and explained that her husband’s refusal to maintain basic hygiene caused constant arguments. She stated that she could no longer bear living in such conditions.

When officials questioned him, the husband admitted that he usually showered once or twice a month. To make up for his lack of regular bathing, he revealed that he sprinkles gangajal (holy water from the Ganges) on himself weekly. He also claimed that during the 40 days of their marriage, he showered six times at his wife’s insistence – much more frequently than his usual routine.

A few weeks after their marriage, escalating disputes led to the woman returning to her parents’ home. Subsequently, her family filed a dowry harassment complaint with the local police station and also initiated divorce proceedings against the husband.
