Mass Marriage

Mass Marriage : The emerging tendency of holding “Mass Wedding” ceremonies is healthy omen and proved a great solace for the poor tribal families of Bodo, Rava, Mech and Toto , who cannot afford timely marriage of their daughter due to poverty and demand for dowry. Mass wedding ceremony is a blessing which shares the burden of poor segment of the society in this materialistic era. It is an attempt to share the burden of financially suppressed people for ensuring timely marriages of their daughters and sons.
