    I fully agree with Mr. Saleem, now day’s dowry system is marginally increased in Muslim community across the nation. This is the best solution mass marriages. Rich people in community come up for the noble cause at least once a year. Good work doing by Halima Sabju Memorial Mass Marriage Trust.
