Shaniera Akram is concerned about big weddings during a pandemic and she's not alone

"Keep it small, save lives and save money. People will understand, I promise," she advised, adding that she had a small wedding.
09 Nov, 2020

From wholeheartedly embracing the status of Pakistan's beloved bhabhi, to actively working on improving the state of affairs, Shaniera Akram has undoubtedly been an advocate for Pakistani culture.

This time around, the activist has some advice for couples whose marriage plans have been affected due to the pandemic.

"I understand that in the past big weddings were a thing. But we are mid pandemic, why not take the opportunity and use this time to your advantage?" she questioned the to-be-couples.

Reminiscing her own time, she also mentioned tying the knot with cricket legend Wasim Akram in an intimate ceremony.

"Keep it small, save lives and save some money. People will understand I promise. I had a very small wedding, it's okay. We survived, You will too!"

Shaniera's reassurance was followed by official orders by the National Command and Operations Centre (NOCC) that issued new restrictions for major cities, including banning indoor weddings from November and allowing only a limited number of guests for outdoor ones.

I thought there was an existing restriction on the limit for guests at a wedding. Who is the Government facilitating by revising the limit to 1,000 guests during this pandemic??

Not just big weddings, public rallies are equally a concern.

What is the fun in endangering the lives of entire family in inviting them to weddings where a single infected person, or even a passive carrier can infect the entire wedding party? It is the responsibility of the Government to out law wedding parties outside the immediate family members of a maximum of 50 persons, from both sides.
