"In Gulf countries ’mahar’ (amount of money or gold given by the groom to the bride) is practiced and grooms have been suffering as a result. Though nuptial bank was formed by the government there, it did not solve the problem," he said.

He called upon the rich people to practice simple wedding ceremonies first, which will then be ultimately followed by others in the community.
 
Mohammed Baddruddin, president, Al-Wafa charitable trust, Mangalore welcomed and delivered the keynote address and Abdul Razak Ananthady compared the programme.
 
The inaugural was followed by a discussion on the topic ’How to create a dowry free society?’ and a multi-lingual poetry session.


Umar U H, chief secretary, Al-Wafa charitable trust, Mangalore also spoke on the occasion.
