Karachi hosted the 19th mass wedding ceremony organised by the Pakistan Hindu Council, uniting multiple couples in a collective celebration of marriage at a well-attended event that underscored community solidarity and social support. The mass wedding, held on Tuesday, brought together couples from various socio-economic backgrounds who exchanged vows in a ceremony designed to reduce financial barriers associated with weddings.
The Pakistan Hindu Council arranged the event to offer free wedding services, including venue arrangements, bridal attire, gifts and other customary requirements for the participating couples. Community leaders, social workers and families attended the occasion, emphasising the council’s ongoing efforts to support youth and underprivileged couples in formalising their unions through a culturally meaningful but economically accessible celebration.
Organisers highlighted that mass weddings not only alleviate financial burdens but also foster community cohesion, cultural identity and mutual respect among participants and attendees. The event received widespread appreciation from both the Hindu community and broader Karachi residents, many of whom praised the initiative’s role in promoting inclusivity and shared social values.
