Role of the mukathiya at weddings
The mukathiya or shari'a is a woman assigned - in traditional weddings - to
beautify the bride and advise her on certain health and sexual matters. She also advises
the bride not to let her husband touch her until he gives her money or golden ornaments.
The mukathiya has no other work and so she takes this opportunity to sell combs, rings and
other ornaments to women attending the ceremony. [Yemen Times, 8 Feb 1999]
