Indian Muslim brides sit during a mass marriage ceremony in Mumbai on June 15, 2009. Mass marriages generally organised by social organisations are common in India - a country of a billion plus population where the custom of dowry and expensive gifts from the brides family is still prevalent among certain segments of the society.

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a mass marriage ceremony in Mumbai, India. The image showcases a group of Indian Muslim brides sitting gracefully, adorned in traditional attire, during this significant event on June 15,2009. Mass marriages are commonly organized by social organizations in India to provide an opportunity for couples from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to tie the knot. In a country with over a billion people, where certain segments of society still adhere to the custom of dowry and expensive gifts from the bride's family, these mass weddings offer hope and relief. They aim to alleviate financial burdens while promoting equality and inclusivity within communities. Photographer Sajjad Hussain beautifully captures this momentous occasion through his lens. The composition highlights not only the beauty and elegance of each bride but also their collective strength as they embark on this new chapter together. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that love transcends economic barriers and celebrates unity amidst diversity. It sheds light on the resilience and determination exhibited by both couples and social organizations working towards creating meaningful change within Indian society. Sajjad Hussain's poignant image encapsulates the spirit of these mass marriages - symbolizing hope, empowerment, and progress for all those involved.
