New measures to lower dowries and promote youth marriage
The article discusses the decision of the Beni Bousliman Tekout throne to review the previous agreement regarding the organization and facilitation of marriage in the region. This comes as part of efforts to combat the high costs of marriage and the expensive dowries that hinder young people from getting married. Dowries have been set at around 250,000 dinars, and there is a renewed call to activate community dialogue based on tradition and customs, while considering economic and social changes. The adjustments include reducing extravagant ceremonies, eliminating some traditional habits such as “Sibaha” and henna, and cutting back on expenditures for celebration displays, all while preserving genuine values. The goal is to encourage marriage and reduce the phenomenon of bride shortage by regulating and rationalizing costs, streamlining procedures, and easing related processes. The local community has affirmed that this initiative will help lower expenses and strike a balance between social values and economic realities.
