ZARGHAR, Tajikistan — Arranged marriages of partners who’ve never ever met are typical in rural Tajikistan. However the 27 wedding of village schoolteacher Saidsho Asrorov’s to Marjona Hudoidodova is highly unusual august.
Their wedding had been arranged within just one week on purchases associated with the country’s autocratic ruler.
President Emomali Rahmon ended up being visiting Tajikistan’s southwestern Khatlon area on August 16 whenever Asrorov, a 23-year-old history instructor, provided a speech praising “the first choice associated with the country and creator of comfort in Tajikistan.”
Asrorov indicated appreciation to hungarian wives Rahmon for their part in “supporting training together with upbringing for the young generation” and recited their own verses of Tajik poetry (see movie below) to honor Rahmon, an old Soviet apparatchik who has got governed Tajikistan since 1992.
