The bride could be seen chuckling as her mother gifted the lethal weapon to her husband.

It could be hypothesized that the rifle could be memorabilia that the mother-in-law was gifted to her daughter’s husband.
Since the location is not known, it can also perhaps thought that gifting weapons on special occasions was a part of the culture.
Still, the promotion of arms, be it done at a wedding or any other occasion, cannot be endorsed.
Arms have long remained a part of our culture and incidents of aerial firing on weddings, New Year, and other festive occasions are not new and so as repercussions of their usage.
Similarly, another video recorded in Karachi went viral where a girl is beating a security guard and people are spectating it.

Reportedly, the guard did not open the barrier as it was shut down due to the revised timings.
The culture of assault are digging roots in our culture and this time women are a part of it too.
Such demeanors reflect the degrading state of our moral and ethical values that authorize a powerful person the authority to disrespect people lower than them.
