The Mukri are notable for having produced many distinguished figures, such as Peshewa
Qazi Muhammad, and
Aziz Khan Mukri who served as commander-in-chief of the Qajar Army from 1853 to 1857.
Abbas I of Persia married a Mukri noblewoman and daughter of the Mukri governor of
Maragheh in 1610 CE after defeating the Mukri in the
Siege of Dimdim and executing her brother and his men; despite being a relatively young bride, she was known to be previously popular among the Mukri. 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” such as not engaging in adultery, which includes subtle romance such as
courtship and romantic relationships with the absence of fornication which was otherwise tolerated by the surrounding semi-nomadic Kurdish Bolbas tribes like the
Mangur, whose tribeswomen enjoyed greater freedoms compared to urban women of the Mukri. == See also ==
