SYNTHESIS OF THE MOTIF OF CHILDLESSNESS AMONG KARAKALPAKS IN DASTANS AND FOLK BELIEFS

Abstract

The article examines sources about the motives associated with childlessness. The scientific arguments made regarding the topic of childlessness in the samples of world folklore are used as a source. Among 70 samples of Karakalpak folklore, half of them begin with the sad fate of childless fathers. No matter how they are depicted and in what situations and degrees, their main origins develop in close connection with the motive of the need for children, common to human destinies. In our dastans, epic information takes place, claiming that the gift of a child to a childless person is in the hands of only Allah himself, and this indicates the result of these influences. But, these concepts in religious books, despite religion, it is indisputable that these are everyday needs that have a strong influence on the coverage of problems about childlessness in their content.
