The answer

The mixing of men and women has negative consequences and detrimental effects in weddings, work, and study. The seating of each family at a separate table does not prevent mixing during entry and exit, nor does it prevent looking, especially if some women do not adhere to the legal (Shar'i) . Furthermore, the separate seating of each family does not achieve the purpose of celebration, joy, and acquaintance. Therefore, it is advisable to separate men and women in celebrations; it is more devout to Allah and more helpful in achieving the intended purpose of the gathering.
