Afghani Wedding Traditions

In Afghanistan culture, marriage is different from American culture. When marrying you need to follow certain rules. In the marriage tradition of Afghanistan, girls under 10 can engage but can not marry. Marriage can only be held at the age of 16. Women in Afghanistan are not allowed to marry non-Muslim males. However, Muslim men can marry Christians and non-Muslim women who believe in Jews. The groom can become the first cousin. However, if parents are not interested in the first cousin and think they are not full enough, bride parents look for another groom that fits the groom.

The Arab wedding (Arabic: زفاف, فرح or عرس) has changed dramatically in the past 100 years. The original traditional Arab wedding should be very similar to modern Bedouin's wedding or country wedding, and in some cases even in the same country, they are unique in several fields. It must mention that the wedding that some people call "Bedinians" today is actually the original real traditional Arab Islamic wedding and not influenced by foreign countries . The process of marriage usually begins with the visits of a couple's family members and ends with a successful wedding ceremony (leilat al-dokhla). For weddings considered to be Muslims, the bride and groom agree and have to welcome the groom to the bride's house - you can keep both sides clean only in front of her parents

Traditional formal religious wedding is the most common kind of wedding in the United States. Since it is common for couples to share the same religion, many couples choose to marry at the church they believe. Whether the couple is Catholic, Jewish, Hindu or any other religion, they usually get married at this church in the faith. However, many couples of today do not have the same faith. These religious couple can also hold a traditional wedding. Religious officials are increasingly cooperating to marry a couple who is not married
