The true cost of big fat Indian weddings | DW Documentary

Glamor, glitz and grandiosity: Indian weddings are often on a huge scale. But the cost of the opulent weddings plunges many families into debt. For many Indian couples, their wedding is the most important event of their lives. Celebrations go on for days and even weeks, often with hundreds of guests. The party is also an expression of status and wealth. It’s estimated that the Indian wedding business will generate the equivalent of some 130 billion US dollars in 2025. But the glamorous façade often conceals a bleak reality. The pressure to live up to societal expectations is immense. Many families take on debt to cover the cost of a wedding. A tradition obliging the bride’s family to provide a generous dowry plunges poorer families into financial ruin and is often the cause of violent conflicts that have in some cases resulted in the bride’s death. But why is the “Big Fat Indian wedding” tradition still so deeply rooted to this day? And can couples push back against the pressure and do things their way? 00:00 Intro 00:45 A Typical Indian Wedding 03:03 Anant Ambani’s Wedding of the Century 03:25 The Wedding Business 04:00 Why the Big Event is so Important 05:25 Mass Weddings as an Alternative 07:45 Dangerous Tradition: Dowry 10:25 Against All Conventions: A Small-Scale Wedding #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs #wedding #indianwedding ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
