The qabin (Classical Mandaic: ࡒࡀࡁࡉࡍ) is the Mandaeanwedding ritual. Mandaean weddings are typically held for several days. Traditionally, weddings must be officiated by a Mandaean priest and can only be performed for ethnic Mandaeans, although this has proved to be challenging for the contemporary Mandaean diaspora.[1]
Drower (1937: 59–71) contains a detailed account of a traditional Mandaean village wedding.[3]
A wedding chamber or canopy used during Mandaean wedding ceremonies is called an andiruna, a term which is also used to refer to temporary reed huts used during priest initiation ceremonies.
