Description:

This article consists of a descriptive account of the traditional marriage rites in Māzandarān, followed by two dialect texts with English translation. The ethnography describes various stages involved in a typical traditional marriage, including the proposal and betrothal, observances prior to the wedding ceremony, the wedding procession, the bridal chamber, the unveiling feast, and the initial stages of married life, covering altogether a period of slightly more than one year. The texts are expected to contribute to the study of the largely understudied language of Māzandarān. A brief grammar and a glossary accompany the texts.
