marriage ceremony, which IL Conducted

all cases male relatives. The witness On
the part of the woman 10 her father OF
uncle, or some one Ut that generation, NO
other person being allowed to act for her
without special power Of attorney to that
effect.
If the bride should he slave-in those
countries where slavery is sllOwed-it is
her master who acts as her witness. The
Mullah, who is in the same room with the
witnesses, asks them if the persons whom
they represent consent TO marry each
other, and then inquiries what the kalim
and dowry are, and If they have been
properly given, he then recites prayer,
giving praises to the prophet and his de-
scendants, draws up the marriage con-
tract, and repeats a prayer, which is placed
at its head: ''Prsise to God, who has al
lowed marriage, and has forbidden all
adulterous crimes; let all heavenly and
earthly existcnces praise MOhammed and
his pure and honorable posterity."
He then pr0nounces the words: ~

witnesses, and in accordance with the
conditions set forth 10 this contract" I'm

half of the husband and wife declare
consent to this marriage according to the
commissions given to the witnesses, and
the conditions expressed in this coz
tract" .- 49,.
The Mullah and witnesses then place
their seals on the contract, ask the assist
ance of God, and recite the fatha, or first
chapter of the Koran. The marriage
contract is given to the wife or her wit.
nesses. The marriage fee is given by the
husband, and cannot be demanded from
the wife. The bridegroom then goes to
the apartment Of the bride, but is met at
the door by her brother or some relative,
who does not permit him to enter until
he gives him piece of money or some
small present. When he has thus sue
ceeded in obtaining admission, he joins
the bride, and remains with her and all
the other women.
On his entering, the bride is concealed
amidst group Of women, among whom
he must find her hand before she Can
come out. AS he has perhaps never seen
her, it is a somewhat difficult matter.
When feast is held, it usually lasts all
night; bontires are lighted, and refresh
ments are served. The women go away
in the morning, after having received
their presents. The feast of the men
takes place in the outer court, and they
stay there until half the night is passed,
when they receive their presents and re-
tire. 1t is necessary at the same time,
also, to give aims either to the mosque or
to the poor persons. At any time the
day after, the husband is allowed to take
his wife to his own house, if he has one,
and, this done, the marriage is entirely
contaminated.
