Bengali Bride 3, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

Muslim marriage and Islamic wedding customs are traditions and practices that relate to wedding ceremonies and marriage rituals prevailing within the Muslim world. Participants in these rites belong to communities of people who have Islam as their faith.

According to the teachings of the Quran, a married Muslim couple is equated with clothing. Within this context, both husband and wife act as each other’s protector and comforter, just the way how real garments “show and conceal” the body of human beings. Thus, they are meant “for one another”.

In Islam, Polygyny is allowed with certain restrictions, however Polyandry is not. Even so, the number of Polygynist families amounts to a very small minority with the majority of Muslims practicing monogamy.

Hello Nilotpal,the beautifully decorated bride is well photographed in lovely colours.The figures in the background are a little distracting,perhaps a slight change in POV would have helped.
Best wishes Les.

Hello Nilotpal,
A high quality portrait of a splendidly dressed bride. Pity about the hand entering from the left. The young boy behind her adds interest to the beautiful image. Definitely worth marks, especially if you cropp off the hand on the left. Best wishes.

Namaskar dear Nilotpal

This lady is very beautiful, her costume is spectacular. I like the close-up and the rich colour and sharpness. I hope she has a very happy life.
