| DIVORCE COMPENSATION
Before the wedding ceremony begins, the bride and groom's parents should negotiate together with the matchmaker about the issue of "divorce compensation." The so-called "divorce compensation" is the money that the husband needs to pay his wife if he seeks a divorce after marriage. For Uzbek people, divorce is a shameful thing. A happy and affectionate married life is adorable and definitely the pride of the newlywed couple. This is perhaps the reason why divorce is so scarce in this ethnic group. However if there is no way for a couple to continue with their marriage under any circumstances the husband will ask for a divorce. Then the wife can take back her betrothal gifts and ask for a certain amount of "divorce compensation" from her husband. The divorce compensation is negotiated before the wedding ceremony, thus it becomes a kind of restriction or prohibition on those flirtatious men who are keen on seeking new relationships.
