The qabin (Classical Mandaic: ࡒࡀࡁࡉࡍ) is the Mandaeanwedding ritual. Mandaean weddings are typically held for several days. Traditionally, weddings must be officiated by a Mandaean priest and can only be performed for ethnic Mandaeans, although this has proved to be challenging for the contemporary Mandaean diaspora.
During the qabin wedding ceremony, a Mandaean priest reads prayers from The Wedding of the Great Šišlam.Zidqa brika, which includes hamra and various dried fruits and nuts, is also offered and consumed. A bridal chamber called the gnana, consisting of a canopy and white cloth, is set up for the bride and groom.

A wedding chamber or canopy used during Mandaean wedding ceremonies is called an andiruna, a term which is also used to refer to temporary reed huts used during priest initiation ceremonies.
