Groom Denied Entry Sparks Outcry in Syria
Some local authorities in rural Damascus, such as the Saraqeb Municipality and Douma City, have decided to prohibit the groom from entering female-only wedding halls during wedding celebrations. The aim is to organize the festivities and preserve social customs and traditions. This decision has sparked widespread controversy among Syrians, with some questioning why the groom is being accused of a crime simply for entering women's halls. Supporters, on the other hand, argue that the decision prevents unveiled grooms from entering and helps reduce the hefty costs of organizing a wedding, as the couple only needs to perform the marriage contract and the bride leaves her family’s house. The authorities based this decision on their legal powers and the need to regulate social traditions.
