A Persian Wedding

Category: Regional and Religious Wedding Traditions
Title: A Persian Wedding
Listing URL: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/islam/1885persianwedding.html
Description: This excerpt from "The World’s Story: A History of the World in Story, Song and Art" and "Vol. II: India, Persia, Mesopotamia, and Palestine", describes an 1885 Persian wedding. Note: Many Western sources about Islamic countries exhibit what has come to be known as orientalism. The terms used ("Mohammedan" for instance rather than "Muslim"), and the attitudes exhibited by the writers need to be questioned by modern readers.
