Wedding Ceremonies of Turkestan in Periodical Press in the End of the 19th and the Beginning of the 20th Centuries

Sanobar Shandmanova's article discusses criticism of Muslim wedding rites by Turkestani jadids after publications appeared in local press in the late 19 th and the early 20 th centuries. The author shows that in their progressist discourse followers of the jadid movement explicitly opposed local tradition of excessive costs of wedding ceremonies they believed too heavy to pay as it concerned ordinary people whose income was insufficient for such a purpose. Shadmanova emphasizes actuality of this modernist and rational argumentation remaining until now, when the tradition of expensive wedding festivals is coming back.
