Mangaluru, Aug 12: Many have died and lost their livelihood due to coronavirus pandemic. However, some have benefitted also. Coronavirus has put brakes on the atrocities that were committed on the parents of girls in the name of dowry and also the lavish marriage expenses, which usually the parents of the bride had to bear.

Due to the coronavirus rules, a maximum of 50 people can attend a marriage party. This has immensely benefited the middle-class people. Now they can conduct the marriage in a simple manner without shelling out lac of rupees.

There are many examples wherein the families of brides had to literally sell their house, land etc in order to repay the loan that was taken for the marriage expense of their daughters. However, the coronavirus pandemic has helped the middle and poor class people heave a sigh of relief when it comes to expenses of marriage.

Now the marriages are being held in a simple manner and in real traditional style. Earlier, the grooms used to demand that marriage must take place in specific halls and a party has to be thrown the day before the marriage etc. But coronavirus has put brakes on all these demands.
