Abstract

|

This task examines the cultural worldview of Nora AB, a 27-year-old Saudi woman with a master’s degree in sociology, regarding the practice of marriage within tribal communities. Through a structured interview conducted via Zoom, this interview explores how Nora’s tribal background and educational experiences have shaped her strong advocacy for endogamous marriage practices in contemporary Saudi society. Despite her exposure to diverse cultures during her two years of study abroad, Nora maintains that tribal marriage serves as a crucial mechanism for preserving cultural identity, strengthening social cohesion, and ensuring marital compatibility in an increasingly globalized world.

The analysis reveals how Nora’s cultural framework influences her interpretation of marriage as not merely a personal relationship but as an integration of value systems that benefits both individuals and society. Her perspective demonstrates the complex negotiation between tradition and modernity, as she advocates for maintaining tribal marriage practices while embracing modern medical screening and rejecting close cousin marriages.
