| KABUL — Afghan brides with an eye for lavish affairs may have to cut-down their wish lists after the country's parliament passed a law capping the cost of weddings at $3,500. "These excessive wedding ceremonies are causing huge social problems and becoming a burden for families," Senator Nisar Harris, one of the legislation's supporters, told NBC News. "We have passed this law to prevent families going broke and to preserve social cohesion."
The law limits the number of wedding guests to 500 and caps the cost per head at 400 afghanis (about $7).
