Report by Nasr Allah

Nasr Allah, the village chief of Mulla ʻAbbasi, writes about two Bakhtiyari horsemen who went to the house of a resident who had a daughter, and the temporary marriage between the girl and one of the horsemen. Two of Ahmadvand Mihr ʻAli Khani’s horsemen were in the same house, and they brought a Kurdish man to sing and celebrate until morning. In the morning, the Kurdish man disappeared, and a few items were stolen from the Bakhtiari horsemen. Now, the Bakhtiyari horsemen are accusing the two other horsemen of stealing the items.
