Wedding Traditions: A Detailed Exploration

Following the initial acceptance, the families proceed to the Baleh Boroon (Taking the 'Yes'), a celebratory occasion where the informal agreement is solidified, and the initial, tentative conditions of the marriage are formally documented. During this event, often held at the bride’s house, the elders discuss and finalize the crucial details, most significantly the Mahr (bridal gift or dower) and the date of the primary contract signing, the Aghd. This meeting is characterized by the presentation of symbolic gifts from the groom’s family, often including a ring and a length of cloth, marking the bride as officially engaged and publicly affirming the families' commitment to proceeding with the union.
