Romantic Linkage: A gathering of nomadic relatives before the official engagement ceremony

Yuzi is one of the most informative and longlasting traditions of Iranian nomads, during which nomadic tribes present gifts to the bride s and groom s families before the wedding ceremony. Yuzi is mainly in the form of goods such as sheep, carpets, blankets, horses, guns, food items, firewood, etc. In fact, Yuzi should be considered as a kind of transaction, during which the nomads help each other and help themselves in crisis situations where there is a possibility of economic pressure on the families. After Fatima s family sent an invitation to her relatives for the official engagement ceremony, they showed up at her house and each of them brought her Yuzi as much as they could and helped Fatima s family in doing the work before the ceremony. This help is always accompanied by local music, which is mentioned under different titles such as Shireduma and this music is performed by genuine and elderly nomadic women. Plea
