the final part of a marriage ceremony; the ending part of

wedding
ritual.
Before a marriage, both bride and groom receive a religious washing. At the end of the ceremony, to seal the marriage, the
groom, who is standing behind a curtain, reaches over the curtain and, with his second finger, touches the forehead of his
bride, thus making them both religiously unclean. Then the groom, his hand still extended over the curtain, drops a ring on
to a pillow resting on his bride's lap. The bride, who is seated on her bed or mat with her back to the curtain, sees the
ring fall on to the pillow. The ring becomes hers, and with that, the ceremony is over -- the bride and groom are now married.
Outside, firearms discharge as a sign of rejoicing.
What is that shooting there? Ah... because [it] is the final part of the marriage ceremony now.
