At a time when opulence in weddings, meaning long guestlists and a lavish spread at the dinner table, is commonplace, eight mosques from Vemulawada have taken the lead to discourage this trend. For, at a recent meeting, the heads of these committees, along with community members, put their heads together and resolved to make weddings simpler by drastically reducing the number of dishes at the dinner table.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mohammed Akram, who is the president of the Vemulawada Muslim Town Committee, a body that collaborated with the managing committees of these mosques, took the decision recently. The move, he said, is intended to significantly reduce the burden of expenses on the bride’s family.
