Social Customs

Customs and usages are important factors in the social life of Pakistan. From birth to death social customs and ceremonies are performed by individuals varying according to their economic and social standing. For most families the birth of a child is a joyful occasion.

Marriage is a pious institution and provides the foundation of the domestic life of a Muslim and his family. Marriages in Pakistan are generally arranged by the parents.

More often it is the mother of the boy who selects a girl though this is invariably done in consultation with the father and after obtaining the approval of the boy. The family thus remains a well integrated unit and occupies a central position in the social life of the people.
