Punjab Dhee Rani Program (also known as the Collective Marriages Program or Salami Scheme) to support underprivileged parents in marrying their daughters with full dignity and honor. In Islam, marriage is a sacred social contract that lays the foundation for a stable and happy family life. But due to the tough economic situation and financial difficulties, many poor parents are unable to fulfill this important responsibility for their daughters. This program removes that burden and brings hope, stability, and a sense of government care in society.
Under this noble initiative, the Punjab government organizes grand collective weddings for thousands of poor girls every year. The bride receives a special cash gift of Rs 200,000 from CM Maryam Nawaz as salami, given directly through an ATM card. In 2025-26, the government has planned collective marriages for 5,000 poor girls across Punjab. In 2024-25, 3,000 girls were successfully married under this program. If you have a daughter who qualifies, apply as soon as possible!
Always use the official portal only and never pay any agent or middleman for registration.
