ZARANJ (Pajhwok): Thirty-five couples tied the knot at a mass wedding ceremony arranged by a welfare organization in southwestern Nimroz province on Sunday.
Haji Ibrahim Habibyar, head of the welfare organization, said the purpose of mass marriage was to help couple who lacked the financial ability to arrange their marriages.
“The aim is bring a smile on their faces,” he said, adding his organization paid the expenses on their marriages because it was difficult for the poor couples to afford the wedding, a costly affair in Afghanistan . . .
