Image description

Irum Abbas dons borrowed jewellery from her sister prior to a friends' wedding in Karachi August 4, as a country-wide strike by Pakistan's jewellers and gem merchants entered its 20th day against the imposition of a 12.5 percent general sales tax on the gold business, effective 1 July. The strike has forced dozens of families to either cancel or postpone marriage ceremonies because gold jewellery, an essential part of Pakistani weddings, could not be purchased. Families who could not afford to cancel the ceremonies have borrowed family jewellery for the weddings. A bride in Pakistan is considered incomplete without being elaborately adorned in gold.
