Mokri tribe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mukri tribe is a Kurdish tribe residing in West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. They are notable for having produced many distinguished figures, such as Aziz Khan Mokri, who served as commander-in-chief of the army from 1853 to 1857.[1] Abbas I of Persia married a Mukri noblewoman in 1610 CE; she was known to be popular among the Mukri.[2][3] Mukri princes made up the ruling class of the emirate of Mukriyan.[4] Mukri women traditionally mixed with men and did not veil, it was also standard for Mukris to greet guests with cheek kisses even between opposite genders. However, despite their free association with men, women had to, historically, abide to the Mukri patriarchal code to "retain their honor."[5][6]
