Mass Wedding - Westcombe Charitable Foundation

Westcombe Foundation stands committed to extending support towards the upliftment of society. Weddings in India are expensive affairs with the bride’s family traditionally expected to pay the groom a large dowry of cash and gifts. Fathers in India also traditionally pay for their daughters’ weddings, which can mean that if a bride’s father has died or is extremely poor, her chances of getting married are almost non-existent. Westcombe Foundation organized the Mass wedding ceremony for 2 consecutive years 2018 and 2019 for the people of the economically weaker and the underprivileged section of the society. Besides weddings, this ceremony is a ground of religious harmony. Everything required for the establishment of a nest was considered by providing necessary household goods to each couple.
