"I am getting married here because my parents are poor. They cannot afford the wedding expenses," explains Kalpana Devi, one of the 122 brides chosen and financially supported by the minority NGO Pakistan Hindu Council to get married in a mass wedding ceremony. "A wedding at home is the best but when a family choses to hold a wedding here, they can give their daughter something better as a wedding gift," she adds. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
