Some 112 Muslim couples joined the event organised by the Husaini Waqaf Committee. Mass weddings are often welcomed in India for reducing the pressure on parents on organizing and paying for the wedding, with participating couples given basic household items and some jewellery while free food is provided for the couples and their limited invited guests, with the help of generous donors.
