Six brothers in Pakistan's Punjab province married six sisters in a single ceremony, aiming to challenge extravagant wedding traditions, according to reports.
The event, attended by over 100 guests, was intentionally small-scale, rejecting the lavish customs often associated with such occasions.

The brothers spent over a year planning the wedding, waiting for the youngest sibling to come of age so all six couples could wed on the same day. Emphasizing Islam's values of modesty and simplicity in marriage, they sought to set an example for others.

"We noticed that many people sell land or take out loans to pay for weddings," said the eldest brother. "We wanted to show that a marriage can be joyous and meaningful without creating financial burdens." he said to local media
In addition to their simple celebration, the grooms also refused to accept dowries, defying societal norms. The wedding was rooted in the belief that love and connection should take precedence over materialism. Beyond the unions of the six couples, the event symbolized hope for others burdened by societal expectations and the financial pressures of traditional weddings.
