Marriage is often called the most important day in a woman’s life — but for thousands of girls in low-income families, it’s a day filled with fear, pressure, and debt. In many homes, the moment a girl turns 18, the race begins — not for her dreams, but for arranging her dowry. Furniture, appliances, gold, clothes — the list is long, and the consequences of failing are brutal. At Kamayani Foundation, we believe that marriage must begin with dignity, not distress. Our Samaan Se Vivaah campaign supports the weddings of girls from underprivileged families — but not as charity. These are not mass weddings where identities blur. Each wedding we support is treated with personal care, cultural sensitivity, and utmost respect — because a woman’s wedding isn’t a social obligation. It’s her emotional milestone.
