   On the other hand, Manjit Singh GK, President Gurudwara Management Committee Said, “The poor and the middle classes who spend money they don’t have. As the girl’s side bears the burden, the high expenditure on weddings fuels female foeticide and infanticide, poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy and even suicides. In other words, one wedding can set a man back by a decade as he struggles to repay the loan he has taken for his daughter’s wedding.”
