Kazakh Singer Saken Maygaziev's Generosity at Son's Wedding: Tradition or Extravagance? The recent wedding of Kazakh singer Saken Maygaziev's son has sparked discussions about traditional Kazakh wedding customs. Journalist Yerbol Mandibu reported that Maygaziev contributed a substantial sum, 5 million, towards his daughter-in-law's kalym (bride price). This generous contribution, along with other traditional gifts, highlights the significance of these customs. While the exact details remain unverified, the video shows the lavish wedding celebration. "The singer followed Kazakh traditions, giving money and gifts," stated a source close to the family. The event raises questions about the evolving nature of traditional practices in modern Kazakhstan and the financial implications of such customs.

Further investigation is needed to verify the exact amount and the broader context of this event. Despite the controversy, the video offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Kazakhstan and the importance of family traditions.
