Unusually, the Pakistani merchant, Muhammad, wanted his wedding to be special and dazzling, and to hold it in a Bollywood way in Dubai, so he expressed his love for his bride in front of everyone and promised her weight in gold.
According to the video clips that spread from the wedding, the rich merchant showed that he did not say that metaphorically, but rather carried out what he said in front of those who attended the ceremony, as he brought the balance and gold bars and began weighing his bride to determine her dowry, and her weight was 69 kilograms, so the bride received 69 gold bars.
According to a simple calculation made by the presenter of the "Networks" program, the price of the gold bar - which weighs a kilogram of 24 carat - is more than 60,500 US dollars, and thus the bride's dowry is more than 4 million dollars.
In his episode on 3/1/2023, "Shababat" monitored the controversy, ridicule and skepticism that the video clip raised on social media platforms, as many tweeters saw that what appeared in the video could not be real gold, and this is what Saleh, who said He said that it is illogical for those bars to be made of gold, and he wrote, "The sane person has done what makes sense. This is clearly not gold ingots. Gold of this size is less than 5 kilos, which means it is possible that this is 100 kilos."
Tweeter Ahmed expected that the alloys would be iron plated with gold, and he said, "I think plated iron, it is impossible to be real gold, because the sizes of the alloys are very large."
Commenting on the weight of the bars, activist Fahd Al-Mudhahka wrote, "Gold is very heavy. This size requires two hands, and you will notice the weight while transporting it. It is impossible for him to carry it with the tip of his fingers."
As for activist Mufreh Ali, he commented sarcastically, "A month before the wedding, her family gets 24 hours to stuff her with food to get fat."
Activist Aref expressed his surprise at the idea and its seriousness, saying, "I used to hear it repeating it as an exaggeration that a dowry gave it (its weight in gold) until I saw it in this clip."
