The marriage customs are the same as in other parts of southern Balochistan. Among the tribesmen, early marriage is very common. Generally, marriages are arranged by the parents. The marriage invariably takes place after puberty. The bride is generally four to five years younger than the groom. In rare cases infant betrothals take place among very near relations. Marriages with young girls are not so frequent, except among the wealthy. The bride price (labb) is very common in the area. It varies from rupees 10,000 to 200,000 according to the position of the concerned parties and the age, beauty, and qualities of the girl, and is paid in cash. The bride-price may also be in shape of sheep, goats, camels, and land. This is practiced by the nomadic tribes in the rural areas. There is no consideration of the bridegroom’s age or ability. Haq mahar is generally fixed before the nikah ceremony, but it is seldom recovered by a wife in her husbands life. It is exacted in case of divorce or death of the wife by her heirs. The system of exchange of brides (adal badal) is common among the tribe. This exchange is generally confined to near relations.

The bride’s parents generally present her with a dress and a few ornaments, bedding, and some household articles. Few suits or clothes are also given to the bridegroom. Wealthy families present the bride with many dresses, numerous expensive ornaments, and domestic articles. In case the bride is a former widow, no ceremonies take place except the nikah ceremony.
