Why does Cambodia stipulate that girls must learn to smoke before marriage?

In Cambodia, it is immoral to stipulate that girls can't smoke, and if it is more serious, they won't get married.

Girls in Cambodia must learn to smoke before they get married. According to local tradition in Cambodia, when a girl is six or seven years old, her parents will prepare a pipe for her. Start teaching them to smoke. In the local tradition, parents believe that smoking can make children understand the hardships in people's lives. Smoking can better express the ups and downs of life. Especially some strong cigarettes can make people feel refreshed even if they get lost in the vast forest. You can also come out by yourself.

If a girl can't smoke until she is fifteen or sixteen, she will be considered unattractive. Serious words will be considered immoral, and some will not get married because they can't smoke. Therefore, no matter how hard and uncomfortable girls smoke, they should study hard to smoke. In our society, female smoking is very rare. Even if you smoke, you won't say anything, but in our traditional concept, smoking is always bad.

Smoking by young girls is an important traditional custom in Cambodia. In addition, other customs are also important. When a Cambodian woman reaches the age of 15 or 16 and marriageable, her parents will shut her up in her room, and then invite the local eminent monks to chant and pray.

This period of time is called "cover date". As long as girls eat, sleep and bathe in this period, they must stay in their own rooms. They can only go out on the specified days, and they can't see any men during this period. I can't even meet my father and brother.

Therefore, it is an important custom for girls to smoke. If they don't smoke before marriage, it will have an impact on their lives. Therefore, Cambodia stipulates that girls must learn to smoke before marriage.
