A newly-wed Pakistani bride has a unique wedding gift demand which has won the hearts of netizens. The video has been shared by a user Mona Farooq Ahmad on Twitter in which the bride Naila Shamal from Mardan city Pakistan has demanded books worth Pakistani rupees 1 lakh as her haq mehr in her wedding.

Haq Mehr is the gift that Muslim women get from the groom's side on their wedding.
Naila Shamal demands books as Haq Mehr
In the video, Naila Shamal is wearing a bridal outfit and she goes on to say, "As you all know, I have demanded books worth Pakistani rupees 100,000 for Haq Mehr. One reason for this is that due to rising inflation in our country, we cannot afford expensive gifts. On the other hand, it is also important to change the wrong customs. She added that "as a writer I demanded books because we all should value books." The caption alongside the post reads, "A bride Naila Shamal in Mardan KPK, Pakistan demanded books in Haq Mehr, worth 100k. The bride and the groom both are writers." Take a look at the post.
