Marriage is considered as the most important happening in the life of Qashqaei tribe. It is even more important than birth or death. The elders of the tribe came together and consulted Khan. Khan was the main consultant when a tribal girl was going to get married. Usually, he haggled about a higher price to be given to the girl. The bridegrooms’ family had to pay a sum, which usually consisted of a number of camels, sheep and horses as determined by Khan to the family of bride to make marriage possible.
