Money wasted on lavish weddings causing debt

In India the social status of families in some places depends on how lavish the wedding of their daughter was, so many families take large loans so that they can have a posh wedding for their daughters inviting a large number of people, wasting money on decoration, food which they cannot afford. Often people then find it difficult to repay the loan which they have taken and are in debt for the rest of their lives
If people did not face any social pressure to spend lavishly for their wedding, a lot of debt could be avoided.
