Marriage is an occasion where everyone in our society celebrates beyond their means. Celebrations are held, loved ones are invited, expensive costumes are adorned and special dresses are designed especially for the bride. Expensive gifts are given to the groom. Although a bill has now been introduced by the government of Pakistan to ban dowry and such rituals, but no law can be successful unless it is strictly enforced. Especially if the well-known political and famous personalities are not following these laws then all these laws are left only to the law books. Today we will tell you about some of the lavish weddings in the history of Pakistan.
