A mass wedding ceremony involving 50 couples has been held in Afghanistan. Such ceremonies have become more common as low-income couples seek to avoid the high costs of a traditional wedding. Roohullah Rezayi, 18, explained to AFP news agency he could not have afforded a solo wedding. For some of the grooms-to-be it had been a long wait, AFP notes. “I’ve been waiting for this day for three years,” said Samiullah Zamani, a 23, a farmer from Kabul province.
