Marriage of Convenience

In the month of October, a strange event took place which attracted the whole media. It became the topic of discussion for different talk shows and many were either in favor of this or showed their disagreement.
It was really a 'marriage of convenience' and this phrase really set well when in the mid of October a rare wedding was held.
A father in Multan sought a relative reconciliation with a unique union of three individuals: one young man and his two wives. The father of the groom presuaded with pride as his son went on to marry two of his cousins in the space of couple of days. The first wedding took palce in full media glare and the scene was again re-shot with a minor change in detail , that being the addition of a fresh bride to replace the other bride. The father of the groom has a widowed sister and widowed sister-in-law and they both had daughters. They both were according to the Pakistani parlance 'marriageable' age. The boy's father didn't want to hurt his sister as well as his sister-in-law and therefore he came up with the idea of obliging both.After wedding the groom asked for the sponsored honeymoon from the government.
I do not understand what in the world we live in. I mean marriage is not just to oblige anyone it is a way of connecting two individuals with  the consent of Almighty Allah but we have taken this in lighter mode. It is considered to be a blissful moment in one's life but double marriage and that also to favor someone turns a cheerful mode into a compromising mode.It is all because of less understanding of religion and trying to mould the religion according to our own convenience.
