Bedeutung
To enter into a legal or socially recognized union with someone.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Marriage often involves a 'Mehrieh', a gift (usually gold coins) that the groom pledges to the bride, which she can claim at any time. Wedding celebrations can last several days and often involve large communal meals and traditional dances like the 'Attan'. Tajik weddings often blend Soviet-era traditions with ancient Persian customs, including specific songs sung for the bride. In Western countries, many Iranians maintain the 'Sofreh Aghd' tradition even if the legal marriage is done in a local city hall.
The 'With' Rule
Always remember the preposition 'ba'. You never marry someone; you marry WITH someone in Persian.
Aroosi vs Ezdevaj
Don't say 'I'm going to an ezdevaj' if you mean a party. Say 'I'm going to an aroosi'.

Family Involvement
When talking about marriage, Persians often mention the family's approval, as it's culturally significant.
