She described the event as both emotional and joyful, expressing her pride in being part of such a significant milestone for the couples.

The Chief Minister personally greeted each couple, presented congratulatory cards, and offered prayers for their successful married lives. She expressed her wishes by saying, “May Allah bless this new chapter in your lives and replace any past hardships with eternal happiness.”
Under the program, the couples received essential household items such as mattresses, dinnerware, cooking sets, and other daily necessities. Additionally, each couple was gifted a special ‘Dhee Rani Greeting Card’ along with a monetary contribution of Rs100,000.
Maryam Nawaz also inspected the gifts provided to the couples and joined the newlyweds for a group photo. A complimentary lunch for all attendees was organized by the Social Welfare Department.
