Abstract

For the Ingushes, as for the other Caucasian peoples, the high prestige of the married state is characteristic. To this issue, both in the past and now, they come very responsibly. The Ingush family is included in a deep traditional system of connections; from which it is difficult for it to escape. Until now, it is not completely independent in its actions, and this is most clearly expressed in the conduct of wedding ceremonies. The conclusion of marriage is not only about the families of the brothers, but of all relatives, including distant relatives and cousins-in-law («zahalash»). In Ingushetia, when holding weddings and other important family events, traditional forms of its design are preferred. At the same time, if some aspects of marriage are inevitably transformed and simplified, others, on the contrary, strengthen their influence. Changes in family-marriage relations are affected by new socio-economic conditions; Important in this case are the va’iads taken by the Muftiyat of the republic. The presented paper, which is based on field materials and data from the Civil Registry Office of the Republic of Ingushetia, examines the specifics of marriage and wedding rites of the Ingushes and the changes that have occurred in them over the past decades. The main forms of marriage and their features are considered. The author analyzed the archival documents of the Civil Service of the Civil Registry Office of the Republic of Ingushetia for 1958, 2006 and 2016. The study of data of an earlier period is not possible, since a part of the archive was lost due to objective circumstances. At present, there is a tendency for a marriage on the Sharia without mandatory registration at the registry office. Not having available statistics of religious marriages, in this paper we appeal only to official sources - records in the registry office. The most attention is paid to such important issues as the marriage age, the number of mixed and single-nation marriages, the number of repeated marriages, etc. It is they who, in our opinion, determine the development of marriage as the social institution, and allow predicting the attitude of the Ingushes to marriage in the future.
