While it may not appear to be any different than a typical Indian wedding, this Meerut marriage ceremony has gone viral on social media for its extravagant display of wealth. A video from a nikah reportedly recorded at a resort on NH-58 shows a significant amount of wealth and money being exchanged between the bride and groom’s families.
The clip, which has gone viral on social media, shows suitcases filled with cash being passed around among a large gathering of men. Several of them gather around as the monetary gifts are exchanged, eager to see the lavish nature of the presents.

The bride’s family hands over ₹2.5 crore in cash to the groom’s side while the groom’s family gives ₹11 lakh as part of the joota churai ritual, a common wedding practice where the bride’s sisters “steal” the groom’s shoes and demand a payment in exchange.
As the video goes on, another gift of ₹11 lakh is offered to the maulana who officiated the nikah ceremony.
