Award of Excellence: Muslim Bride
October 2, 2021
A young bride in her home before going out to the groom and the groom's family in Parkent, Tashkent region (Uzbekistan). It is noteworthy that the bride is dressed in a European-style dress, but nevertheless her head is covered with a hijab scarf.
In recent years, after the appointment of a new president and the liberalization of the practice of Islam, many young people began to adhere to Islamic customs.
More and more girls are starting to wear the hijab. Uzbekistan is a patriarchal state, so most often they do this because of the demands of the family or husband. Also, wearing a hijab adds favor to the girl in the face of a conservative society.
