STUPID Weddings Will Ruin You - Here's Why Indians Still Want That - FutureIQ

Weddings are a total Rip-off and make no sense at all but we're still tempted to go through all the functions and spend lakhs, even crores on those occasions. Sometimes, a lot more than that when we take an example of events like Anant Ambani's wedding.

Why does this happen? Is there any evolutionary reason behind this decision of ours? Let's discuss the reason why we spend so much money on things like weddings, college degrees, art, and more. Let's understand
why we prefer status-driven things over the simpler and logical ones in
this episode of FutureIQ.
