A traditional Islamic marriage ceremony or festive gathering celebrating a wedding celebration.
From Arabic 'arūsa (bride), derived from the same root as the Aramaic and Hebrew terms for wedding ceremonies, reflecting shared Semitic language heritage.
Arusa traditions vary wildly across Islamic cultures—what happens at a Turkish arusa is completely different from a Moroccan one, yet the word traveled wherever Islam spread.
