Wedding planning guide
Dahej (jahez) list planner
Many families still give household items to help the couple set up their home. If you choose to, plan it like any other budget — and never under pressure.
Common items
- Furniture: bedroom set, sofa set
- Bedding and linen
- Kitchen: dinner set, cookware, small appliances
- Electronics: refrigerator, washing machine, iron
- The bride's own clothes
Track estimated against actual
Write an estimate for each item, then record what it really cost. In the planner you can choose which items count in your wedding budget, so the family's spending stays clear.
Keep it lawful and kind
Pakistan's Dowry and Bridal Gifts (Restriction) Act limits dowry and bridal gifts. Talk openly with both families and agree what is helpful, not what is expected.
Frequently asked questions
Is dahej compulsory?
No. It is a cultural custom, not a religious requirement, and demanding it is wrong.
