A Bengali Muslim wedding (Bengali: বাঙালি মুসলিম বিয়ে) is a Bengali wedding in accordance with the Muslim faith. It includes rituals and ceremonies that may span up to three days. In most cases, it starts with the Dekha Dekhi (promising of marriage), followed by the nikah (Muslim marriage registration), which is conducted by a Qazi with a fixed denmohor (payable to the wife). It ends with the Bou Bhat ceremony, which is popular as the wedding reception arranged by the groom's family.^[1] This is the dominant tradition of weddings seen among the Bengali Muslims of Bangladesh and the West Bengal state of India.
