Abstract
The author discusses the changes in marriage rituals from a traditional form that involved dance ([n]davul[/n]) and music, particularly drumming ([n]zurna[/n]), to one only using religious form of prayer ([n]melvut[n/]). She explains the change, on one level, in context of state and Islamic modernities that shape a peculiar self-consciousness piety and sense of worth of rural Turks, especially among women, one that is both secular and sacred.
