Pakistani groom gets an AK-47 gift by mother-in-law
A video of a Pakistani wedding started to do rounds on social media which was also shared a lot in the neighbouring country (India), showed a groom receiving an AK-47 on his wedding day allegedly from his mother-in-law as people around cheer.
Pakistani weddings are often filled with unusual events where people celebrate over zealously.
It is not uncommon to see people firing gunshots or firecrackers to celebrate the occasion and gifts of all sorts are also presented to the groom and bride but this gift of an assault rifle presented by the mother in law to the groom is still no one has ever seen before.
It can be seen in the video that the lady congratulated the groom and gave him a hug. She then proceeded to get an AK47 out and presented it to the groom. The bride can be seen subtly giggling at her mother’s gesture.
In the video, after receiving the rifle, the mother-in-law and the bridegroom both can be seen posing for the camera.
Netizens all around the world started sharing their thoughts on the event while some calling it local culture, others mostly from the neighbouring country terming Pakistanis as terrorists where weapons are common.
