KARACHI (Web Desk) – A wedding video featuring a 60-year-old herbalist and a young woman has taken social media by storm, triggering intense discussion over the couple’s noticeable age gap.
Clips and images from the ceremony spread rapidly across various platforms, drawing thousands of comments. Many users questioned the dynamics of the marriage, focusing particularly on the significant difference in age between the bride and groom.
