البقارة لبراليون فيما يختص بتدين المرأة .. لماذ؟!

Quote: Baggara are beautiful people and that is why other tribes attracted to their women. However many argue that marring from the Arabs including Baggara tribes was driven by passion for religion and by acquiring a blood lineage, which means that one has secured a holy link to the Prophet of Islam or to one of his great companions. The holy relationship (called nassab sharif) gives other a superior position among their people.

Quote: Baggara consider members of other Baggara tribes as relatives. It’s common for a Baggara man to refer to other Baggara as: “wal abba - my father’s son” for a Baggara man, or “bit abba – my father’s daughter” for a Baggara woman. Similarly, Baggara use “wald ami – my mother’s son” or “bit ami – my mother’s daughter”. Among all Sudanese ethnicities, the terms “wal abba”, “bit abba”, “wald ami” and “bit ami” are uniquely identifiable of Baggara people. The brotherhood and sisterhood conveyed by “wal abba” and “bit abba” have strong connotation of how Baggara feel that they have common ancestral origin, which creates strong sense of fraternity among Baggara tribes. It’s true that all Baggara agree that they have a common ancestor called Al Jinad; it’s possible to reciprocate the name “awlad al Jinad” – sons of al Jinad, for the term Baggara without violating their self-ascertained image. In this sense of brotherhood and sisterhood, marriages which span across Baggara tribes are common. A Baggara man from other Baggara tribes who marries one’s sister, daughter or cousin is considered very revered brother-in-law or son-in-law. Usually, in-laws are considered very special addition to families; they are paid huge respect and homage, especially by their mothers-in-law. Especial celebration always ensues whenever a son-in-law visits his parent-in-law; the mother-in-law usually prepares special dish, called in-laws dish, stuffed with best types of Baggara cuisines and delicacies.

Quote: One interesting reason for splitting of the camp into multiple camps is the so-called wasah custom. Before women build the domes, they build a structure called drangal – it is the sleeping bed for the family. The drangal built of nine short v-shaped sticks (pl: shi’ab el drangal, sing. Shi’eby) arranged in three rows of three – it is a three by three structure. Always darangal contains, among others, three long rods which are placed on the top of the v-shaped sticks and run perpendicular to the dome entrance – these long rods called amaad (sing. Amood). The amood which is closest to the entrance is called wasah; it serves especial function for arranging whole camp in semi-circular fashion. It is forbidden that direction of wasah’s endings directly point into left or right domes; it is considered evil if the end-points of wasah cut through the next dome in the camp. Always women check each other wasah before they build their own domes to avoid the evil of wasah. With large size camp, the wasah becomes an issue for women; they may clash each other while correcting the arrangement of the domes.
