The Committee on Social Affairs, Labor and Housing held a meeting on Tuesday, chaired by the Speaker HE Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim, to examine the proposal submitted by several council members.

The suggestion focuses on organizing wedding celebrations and limiting certain associated practices, and was referred to the committee for study by the council.
