This is the VI program organized for the benefit of Shia Community. It has become very difficult these days to arrange the marriage of daughters. Dowry demands and dinner arrangements cost a huge amount for which the parents of the bride get loans. He further said that no extra expenditure should be done on marriages. Maulana Akbar Husain Rizvi applauded the efforts of Siasat Urdu Daily and said that there is no parallel of this institution in the entire country. He advised the parents not to select the boys or girls on the basis of wealth. Mr. Ali Raza said that many such programs would be arranged with the cooperation of MDF and Siasat Urdu Daily.
