وسط عرس فالبادية وقع لي مكانش فالحسبان

Introducing the Struggling Hero: Al-Kharraz begins by introducing the young man (the victim), a simple and self-made man from a village. He started his life as a day laborer, struggling to make ends meet, before life smiled upon him and he was able to emigrate to Europe to work in agriculture and improve his financial situation. Engaging the Girl of His Dreams: After settling abroad, the young man began visiting his family regularly and sending them financial support. He then decided to fulfill his long-held dream of proposing to a girl from his village whom he admired. He asked her to pursue her education with a modern perspective to ensure she had a better cultural and intellectual development. The Reality of Education and the Hardships of Rural Life: Al-Kharraz then discusses the challenges of schooling in villages and the distance of secondary schools (kilometers away). He describes how his fiancée had to walk long distances with other girls from the village, highlighting the phenomenon of harassment of female students by some reckless young men on rural roads. The decision to stay home: Out of concern for his fiancée's safety and to protect her from harassment on the street, the young man asks her to stop attending school and stay at her family's home. He promises to teach her languages ​​later when he takes her abroad with him. The young woman begins wearing the hijab and disappears from public view for years until she reaches the age of 26. Preparing for the traditional wedding: The young man's family pressures him to end the long engagement (which lasted about five or six years) and hold the wedding. He agrees and returns to the village, where the simple traditional preparations begin. A large tent (kaytun) is erected, and mattresses and blankets are borrowed from neighbors to furnish the "barza" (a traditional seating area) for the bride and groom.
