The discussion was attended by Kokand Mayor Maruf Usmanov, representatives of religious organizations, the mahalla system, older generation members, women's movement activists, employees of the city's Committee for Religious Affairs, members of the clergy and propaganda group, entrepreneurs working in the wedding and ceremony industry, and members of the public.
2) Fact: Some citizens perceive lavish weddings, family celebrations, maraks, and ceremonies as a way to escape criticism, condemnation from neighbors and relatives, and general social pressure. However, such events lead to debts between close relatives and, as a result, to acute conflicts.
During the discussion, which took the form of an open dialogue, the responsible parties were given instructions on preventing vices such as ambition, narcissism, disregard for the social status of others, and extravagance in weddings, family celebrations, maraks, and ceremonies that reflect the primordial values and traditions of our people.
3) Fact: The majority of the population, especially women, increasingly harbor the misconception that the more a daughter-in-law spends on weddings, family celebrations, and ceremonies, the better the relationship between her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
As part of the Maromiylik project, a roundtable discussion was held on the topic "The Role of State and Public Organizations in Further Improving the System for Regulating Weddings, Family Celebrations, Maraks, and Ceremonies." The opinions of state and public organizations on the issues discussed were expressed, and questions from the participants were answered.
4) Fact: At weddings, family celebrations, and ceremonies, performers offer services at exorbitant prices, and during the entertainment process, they demonstrate actions that are inconsistent with our national mentality, values, and traditions. They promote the vices of "mass culture" and negatively impact the upbringing of youth.
The event also featured the screening of the television film "Father," commissioned by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan and aimed at strengthening family values, once again inviting viewers to reflect and ponder the issues under discussion.
