The rules of human life reflect the symbolic nature of the transitional stages
the act of their implementation sets a certain measure in the life process. Marital relations are one of the important factors of this measure, and the gradual development of the family is being considered. The ritual of these days is a delicate stage of life, especially in the life of a woman, and a lot of effort is being made to ensure that the family is strong and healthy. This is the strength of most families in having children. The problem faced by most women from the past to this day is their inability to conceive a child. There are customs and traditions that are important for a woman to get pregnant. These interactions are one of the transitional periods of life, and they have a major role. The review article presents only this aspect of the customs of the inhabitants of the Panj district in comparison with the studies of other researchers. In relation to these traditions, Russian and Tajik researchers from other regions of the country conducted serious studies, each of which was subjected to scientific analysis and discussion. The rituals before pregnancy among the residents of the Panj district are considered serious methods that consider their performance important and necessary for a pregnant woman. Even these methods are considered by Tajiks to be a kind of treatment, and they consider their use more appropriate than medical treatment.
