INTRODUCTION
Many researchers have provided information about
the traditional system of Bukhara wedding ceremonies
in their historical-ethnographic articles and pamphlets.
As a result of the study of these sources and the
ethnographic analysis of weddings through field
research, it is known that we can classify the wedding
ceremonies performed by the Uzbek and local Tajik
residents of the Bukhara oasis as follows:
1. According to the period of transfer:
a)
Pre-wedding ceremonies;
b)
Ceremonies held on the wedding day;
c)
Ceremonies held after the wedding;
In the Bukhara oasis, the pre-wedding rituals include
bride
selection
(taj.”duxtarbini”),
courtship
(taj.”khoskori”), sweet eating(taj “shirixuri” and
“javobberdi”)
-
ritual in which bride’s family announc
es
the consent response to groom’s family, bread
breaking (taj. “nonshikanon”), cutting white material
(taj.”parchaburon”), bringing presents to bride in Eids
(taj. “Iydi” or “iydonabari”), shopping before
wedding(taj.”xarid”) and also reciting the Koran
(separately in the bride and groom's house).

Ceremonies associated with the wedding day include
various rituals associated with wedding events,
including blessing (uzb and taj. “Fotiha tuyi”),
rakhturdi, (taj. rakhtzanon), chimildiq, coming of
groom to bride’s house (uzb.”kuyovkeldi”; taj.”
dommotbari”), plov ceremony(taj. “padaroshi”),
wedding party.
The events that take place after the wedding and the
rituals related to them, include bringing the bride to
the groom's house (taj
.” kelinbiyori”), greeting the
bride (taj. “ruybinon”), and calling the groom as a
guest for the first time after the wedding by the bride's
family (taj. “dommotsalom”) and ritual in which as the
first time the bride is invited to a guest by her relatives
(taj. “kelintalbon”).
2. According to the venue:
a) ceremonies held at the bride's house;
b) ceremonies held at the groom's house;
c) ceremonies held in the restaurants;
Among the ceremonies held in the bride's house, we
can
include
the
following
ceremonies
and
rituals:“khoskori”,
bread
-breaking
(taj.
"nonshikanon"),
"javobberdi",
"shirinikhuri",
"hinobandon",
"koshchinon",
"borbiyoron","rakhtzanon",
"dommotbari"),
“chimildiq”,
“fotiha
tuyi”,
"kuyovsalom"
(taj.
"dommotsalam").
Ceremonies held in the groom's house are: dressing
the groom (taj, "jomapo'shon"), cooking plov (taj,
"padaroshi"), bringing the bride to the groom’s house
(uzb.“kelinkeltirdi”, taj. “kelinbiyori”), greeting the
bride(uzb and taj.“kelinsalom”).
Today, some of the ceremonies traditionally
held at the bride's or groom's house are held by some
families in restaurants and cafes as well.. For example,
we observed in the field research that the ceremonies
of fatiha wedding, “padaroshi”, “dommotsalam”
,
“joyig’di” were usually held at the bride’s or groom’s
house, but today these ceremonies are held in
restaurants.
According to the participants of the ceremony,
Bukhara oasis wedding ceremonies are divided into the
following groups:
a) women’s rituals;
b) male ceremonies;
c) male and female rituals.
Ceremonies and rituals such as courtship, betrothal,
breaking bread in the oasis of Bukhara (taj.
“nonshikanon”),
“javobberdi”,
“shirinikhuri”,
“hinobandon”,
“koshchinon”,
“borbiyoron”,
“rakhtzanon”, “kuyovkeldi” (taj “dommotbari”)
chimildiq, blessing wedding, “kuyovsalam” (taj.
“dommotsalam”),
dressing
the
groom
(taj.
“jomaposhon”), cooking dinner (taj. “padaroshi”),
bringing the bride (taj. “bride
-in-
law” ),” kelinsalom”,
“joyyigdi” are performed by women and men
together.
In the oasis of Bukhara, only women participate in
ceremonies such as "hinobandon", "koshchinon" and
"rakhtzanon". However, when performing courtship
rituals, although women are the main participants in
the fatiha wedding, in some households, men are also
involved when these ceremonies and rituals .
Although men are the main participants in the tunkiydi
(taj. "jomapo'shon"), "padaroshi", "kuyovjar" (Taj.
"dommotbari") ceremonies held during the wedding in

the oasis. However, today the aged women relatives
of bride's family, including grandmothers, aunts from
mother’s side , aunt from the fatrher’s side also
participate in these ceremonies.
In the oasis of Bukhara, a the main women's ceremony
(taj. "zanona") was considered to be “Fatiha tuy”. In
addition, although this ceremony is mainly intended for
women, close relatives of the bride and groom's family,
i.e. grandfathers, fathers, uncles, cousins, also
participate.
In short, no special system has been developed for the
classification of Bukhara oasis wedding ceremonies.
The reason is that the order of ceremonies differs
according to the worldview and economic conditions
of families, that is, some ceremonies are held at home
in order to save money (fatiha wedding, joyig'di,
kelinsalam, dommotsalam), and some families hold
them in luxurious restaurants.
