Marriage follows after a period of a few months generally from the acceptance of betrthal. Marriage is a very elaborate and extravagant affair: there are a number of rites, with a feast hosted at each occasion. The marriage festivity begins with mayun, followed by mehndi, then there is the barat and finally the walima. On the Barrat and Walima all the relatives even distant and friend are invited. The Mayun and Mehndi are more of a family affair, in which women participate. A large dowry, heavy gold ornaments and gifts for the parents and close relatives of groom are expected form the parents of the bride. Marriages are celebrated in a form that manifests the social status of both the families.

The food which the people of Chakwal consume is basically simple too. In the rural areas vegetables, lentils or meat, cooked very simple in butter or ghee is eaten with Roti(bread) baked from wheat flour or sometimes with rice. There is a considerable use of milk and its products. In the urban areas the staple food is the same, but continental food has also made a place for itself. Fried and roasted meat, sandwiches, patties, pizza and burgers are well liked. The people of Chakwal, owing to their simple eating habits, hard work and rough terrain, are strong and healthy. However, in the urban white collared classes, diseases, which occur because of sedentary life styles, are prevalent.

The culture of Chakwal is primarily based on the way of living as taught in Islam; but owing to the fact that Chakwal before independence was an area where a large number of Hindus lived, it is influenced by Hindu rites, rituals and even ideas.

Besides this, the people of Chakwal live a simple and straight life as enjoined by their religion. The joint family system, paternally structured, is still prevalent. The family system is patriarchal and all important household decisions are taken by the eldest male members of the family. Women generally confine their activities to the kitchen and children, not to say that they do not assist
