Dreams of marriage often begin in childhood. The concept and rituals of marriage are instilled in people at a young age by family as well as society. This is as true in the Middle East as it is all over the world. Little girls and boys dress up and pretend to walk down the aisle, or create their own house out of building blocks. This kind of role-playing is a common thread that binds children from all nations.
In all Arab countries, religion garners great respect. The society is based on religion or customs that have religious acceptance. What is important for Moslems is to be respectable in the eyes of God. Rather than being proof of sexual ability, marriage is considered a sign of maturity because it cannot exist without responsibility and self control.
The Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, clearly indicates that marriage is something to be shared between men and women. It must be based on love and mercy. According to Islam, women cannot be forced to marry anyone without their consent. However, one's parents have as much say in who their children marry as the children. The children may have romantic visions, while their parents take a more practical approach. Certain qualities are expected in a spouse: respectability, honesty, a good family and a good education top the list.
Frequently, a man will go to his mother and tell her that he loves someone. The mother will ask her neighbors about the family. After being satisfied with this choice, the man’s family will visit the woman's family to ask for her hand in marriage. A respectable man will be accepted, but only after the acceptance of the woman. At that time, the parents will fix a date to go to the Mosque to mark the beginning of the engagement. At the mosque, the imam (ee’-mahm: a clergy person) will explain how both are required to follow the Islamic code of morals.
The engagement period is a time of great preparation, but the groundwork started before the young woman was grown when the mother begins discussing marriage with her daughter. During the engagement, parents buy gold, clothes, kitchen and household needs for the woman and wool to make mattresses for the man. These items are called a shoura (shur’-ah).

The rights and responsibilities of both spouses are clearly defined. Husbands and wives have equal claims in marriage. Husbands are required to provide financial support and protection, but not allowed to be a dictator. The wife is required to take care of the children and make sure the house is running smoothly. Islam emphasizes the importance of making mutual decisions. This gives the family stability. Prior to the marriage the couple gets to know each other, exchange ideas and buy things for their house. The man will buy gifts for his bride and her mother as a sign of love and respect for her and her family.
Traditionally, the more money spent on a wedding, the prouder the family will be. Before the wedding there is a party at the bride's house where all the relatives work to meet the guests’ needs. Weeks before, women start to prepare many different kinds of desserts: baklava, makroud (mahk’-rood) and other sweet treats. The dinner will always include couscous with vegetables and meat. Men will sacrifice lambs to eat in celebration, and shourba (shur’-ba: tomato sauce and meat), chicken and salads are also served. The latitude of choice and multitude of food are testimony to the parents’ generosity; otherwise people would consider them stingy, which is shameful.
After the party, the bride leaves her parents’ house in a fancy car followed by other cars, including some which display her shoura. This shows all people how greatly she is loved by her family and husband. At the groom’s home, the bride sits in a specially decorated chair looking like a queen. She wears an elaborate wedding dress, heavy make-up, many jewels, and designs painted on her hands and feet with henna dye. Everyone dances and celebrates while approaching a sad farewell. Then the groom will come to the bride and, as they leave, women will cry tears of happiness and sadness. The couple will walk out together with all the guests cheering and yelling as they leave for their honeymoon.
Parents continue to have love and hope for their children’s lives, though their lives will be separate. These rituals are somewhat different, but the basic concerns are the same for all humans, regardless of religion or nationality.
