The Wedding of Zein (Arabic: عرس الزين translit: Urs al-zayn) (1969) is a classical Sudanese Arabic novel, written by Al-Tayyib Salih.

The author portrays the life of average villagers in the North of Sudan, which is influenced by Islamic heritage and Sudanese culture. Zein, an eccentric simpleton whom everybody loved yet was scary to look at, lives his simple life full of laughter, humor and craze. Falling in love with Ni'ma, was beyond the villagers' expectations.
