I have been trying to understand the reasons why people get into debt by spending lavishly on weddings celebrations. And no, I am not talking about those those weddings where grooms get BMW’s as dowry gifts from the girls side or the girl’s family flies in flamenco dancers from Spain, and fresh orchids from Thailand.
I am talking about the poor and the middle classes who spend money they don’t have. As the girls 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.
It’s disturbing to see that this trend of spending on weddings is not showing any signs of letting up. During our parents time, even if it was the girls family which did the spending, the weddings were simpler. Today, ostentatiousness has become a trend in urban India. As it says here:
Indian weddings have always been special occasions, celebrated with zest, enthusiasm, and, in the case of the wealthy, elaborate settings and food. But as a growing economy pumps new wealth into the country, weddings have turned into veritable showpieces…times have changed….the festive spirit has taken on a more ostentatious flavor as weddings become occasions for India’s rapidly growing affluent classes to show off their new wealth.
That’s fine as long as it’s the affluent classes. But there’s always the neighbor who wants to keep up and when he can’t, he goes ahead anyway. He too wants an entertainer during his daughter’s wedding and yearns for five star menus…not just Indian, but also Chinese, Italian, Mexican…
So why do people spend on weddings they cannot afford? Why do they spend even if it means that they get into a debt they have repay for years to come? And why should we care? They must be fools, right? Surely they deserve to pay for their foolishness?
