Farhad, a young boy engaged to a girl, said the traditional meeting between the two families can also be complimented with modest gifts rather than spending all fortune on lavish gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Esa, a Kabul-based sociologist, said in this regard that the whole society is moving towards unwanted materialism in the wake of growing poverty.<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KABUL (SW): The tradition of \u2018Nawrozi\u2019 in which a would-be bride\u2019s family receives plenty of gifts from the would-be groom has been hurting many poor families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":87585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-77628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society","tag-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
