"Tikourbiyine" ready
for departure.To express his wish for blessing her father
invites her to step on a part of his Burnous
"Azenar" before she mounts the mule that takes
her to her new residence.A child is being mounted behind
her as a sign wishing her breeding white and old woman
walks behind holding to the animal's tail.The procession
of the bride stands energically to the strong resistance
held by the members of the bride's village who try to
prevent her departure.In the arrival, the procession goes
around the village for three times asking the local
saints to grant their benediction to the new comer who
steps finally
into her conjugal residence.In
the mean-time and before becoming a definite member of
the receiving home, the bride, a child on the back, a
bucket of dates in the hand walks to the nearest point of
water where the last Ahidous is played to her honour.As a
sign of gratitude, the bride distributes the contents of
her bucket which she fills with water and gets in with a
lamb in the arm and the child always on the back.
