Solution
Casual leave
Explanation:
Short-term absences (often one to three days) to attend social events, family emergency, or personal concerns are covered by casual leave. Varsha’s leave fits under the “Casual” category because it is for a social ceremony and provides short-term, non-medical support for a friend. Earned leave is usually for longer, prearranged trips, while medical leave would require a doctor’s certificate for her personal health.
