Abstract

This article deals with the large-scale epic “Kironkhan ” of Uzbek folklore and its plot and some motives. It is said that the plot system and motives of the epic are based on the tales of the Turkic peoples. In the early days of human history, marriage was concluded between endogamous men and women who were related to each other, but later, due to the development of religious beliefs, marriage to members of another tribe was introduced.
