Are the mahrs rags? Siberian mohruks and Asian mahr

On the territory of the Russian Federation, dozens of peoples and nationalities coexisted peacefully from ancient times. Moreover, in every region of our country new dialects appeared continually, which differed not only in dialect, that is, pronunciation, but also in a dictionary. So, for example, in Siberia the word "mahry" is still used. These are thin pieces or segments that have an elongated shape.

Махры махрам - рознь

A mahrami can be called a piece of cloth, cut into strips, pigtails, and even fringe, provided that they practically come off the base or are close to it. Makhry is a kind of rag, but not always. Some use this word to identify a damaged item, others use it to more accurately and accurately determine its characteristics.

Makhry is a fringe and a rag. Everyone puts his own meaning in the meaning of this word. From it also the verb "to march" occurred. It means "to make something worthless". Most often applied to garments or textiles. Yes, and mahry - it's mostly something woven or cloth.

From Siberia to the Urals

Since the word has a regional character, there are several variants of its writing, as well as pronunciation. The word "smash" is spread not only in Siberia itself, but also in the Urals, and even in Kamchatka. And there are "mohruks". In Novosibirsk they call furry hair bands and just fluffy cloths.

So what's the point really put in the word "mahry"? The meaning of the word, first of all, depends on the region in which it is used, and also on the social layer, whose representatives use it in their lexical usage.

Eastern guest

Surprisingly, mahras are found not only in Siberia or the Urals. It is enough to read the Koran, and everything will fall into place. In Muslims, "mahr" is a dowry that an eastern woman receives by marrying. Disobedience to their mahras Muslim wives can do as they please. In any case, this is stated in the Qur'an.

Despite the fact that it is the woman who must decide which part of the mahra to take, and whether to accept the dowry at all, Allah decries the conscious overstatement of the mahr. Everything must have its price and correspond to it. Mahr is presented to the bride after the marriage contract was concluded and the first wedding night was held.

If, for any reason, the size of the mahr was not specified in advance, its value is assigned by the Sharia. It is calculated on the basis of the size of the mahrs, which other women, surrounding the bride, received in due time.
