10 to 15 Lac (1 Million to 1.5 million rupees) is a lot of money. An average middle class marriage in a non-metro city should cost around 300K to 400K rupees (on each side).

I think I read somewhere that there are certain laws regarding limiting the expenditure on marriage in some places. Cant remember where.

There should be similar limits in India as well. For a person who can afford, it is fine, but some people even take loans and mortgage property to lavishly spend on weddings. This, I think is not right.

This is my personal opinion and I may be wrong!
