This article consists of an account of the traditional marriage rites in rural Mazandaran. It is related in the dialect of Ispivard-Shurab, a rural district in central-eastern Mazandaran, with a dialect representative of the Mazandarani proper. The account is on various stages and rites involved in a typical traditional marriage, including the proposal and betrothal, observances prior to the wedding ceremony, wedding procession, bridal chamber, and unveiling feast, taking altogether a period of slightly more than one year. Hardly any of these traditions has outlasted the generations succeeding that of the aged informant, Sayyid Hasan Sadat! KurdkhaylT, a 72-year-old retired farmer, who used to assist his brother Husayn, the minstrel of the village in his youth. The text is related in natural speech, passionately at times, and entirely free of affectionate language.Therefore, it is expected to contribute to the study of the largely ignored ethnography and language of Mazandaran.
