For several days now, a video has been circulating on social media in which a resident of the Kushonien district of the Khatlon region scolds his son for organizing dancing and music at his wedding.
In the footage, the groom in a suit and the bride in a white veil are in the groom’s house, while guests and relatives dance to the music. A bearded man in a Tajik chapan disconnects the amplifiers from the electricity and demands that the music and “all this nonsense” stop. As a result, the dancing and music cease, and everyone disperses.
Based on the tone of the man’s conversation with the groom, it appears that he is the groom’s father. The man continues to express dissatisfaction that despite the conditions he set, the groom did not keep his word and invited musicians to the wedding.
According to information received by the news portal “Bomdod,” this man is a resident of the village of Komintern in the Kushonien district of the Khatlon region named Domullo Abdulkhannon. As reported by “Bomdod” citing its sources, his son promised to conduct his wedding as his father wanted, but when the father left for errands, he invited musicians and started the party. Someone informed Domullo Abdulkhannon about this, and he turned back halfway, returned home, and dispersed both the musicians and the wedding guests.
Meanwhile, fake pages close to the authorities of Tajikistan published a photo on Facebook showing Domullo Abdulkhannon sitting at a desk in some government institution. Some of these fake pages wrote under this photo that the law enforcement agencies of Tajikistan had detained a member of the Islamic Revival Party.
Deputy Chairman of the IRPT Mirzorakhim Karim told Azda TV that Domullo Abdulkhannon was not a member of this party.
So far, the official authorities of Tajikistan have neither confirmed nor denied information about the detention of Abdulkhannon Usmonov by law enforcement agencies.
The video has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some users criticized Domullo Abdulkhannon’s actions and compared him to the Taliban.
Other users supported Abdulkhannon.
“This man did not break any laws! This poor guy doesn’t care about us dancing or singing at home. Why doesn’t he have the right to hold a wedding at his home without dancing and singing? His home is his personal space! What right do you have to interfere in his personal space? Let’s leave it at that. None of us have the courage to demand that the authorities not punish the innocent. But in such cases, we boldly and courageously demand punishment. It’s a pity, very pity!” – writes journalist Aziz Karimov.
