Upon arriving at her husband’s house, the bride goes around the house, and bows to the domestic altar. The people around are given boiled meat. Before entering the house, the bride steps over a fire, then enters and fills the candle on the altar with oil, and bows. The bride also brings with her a mattress which is put on the groom’s bed. The bride sits on it. This ritual is called batrkh ‘strengthening (the relationship)’. After that she receives a chest, or box, from her relatives, filled with gifts, including handkerchiefs, clothing, etc.
