In Khyber district's Landi Kotal tehsil, the Zakha Khel Peace Committee has announced a set of new social reforms, banning the slaughtering of animals and holding of feasts at weddings and other social gatherings to promote simplicity.

According to an official statement issued by the committee, residents will now be allowed to distribute only sweets at weddings or engagement ceremonies. The committee emphasized that no animal sacrifice or large-scale feasting will be permitted under the new regulations.

The statement further said that the maximum amount of haq mehr (mandatory dower) has been fixed at Rs400,000 in an effort to reduce rising expenses, social competition, and unnecessary extravagance in the community.
