Islamic Traditions in Libya



A wedding ceremony in Libya is officiated by an inam.  There is a contract of the marriage and it is signed in the brides home.  usually the bride must be completely body covered and her face needs to be veiled.  "the newlyweds eat their wedding dinner in seclusion from guests, and the bride is showered with rice and candy as she is escorted to her new home."(Cultural Traditions Libya)
