This weird African custom makes people feel sad why the bride sheds tears on her wedding day?

In Africa, there are still some primitive tribes left in many primeval forests and grasslands. Their culture is still very backward and their thinking is very feudal. For example, the Pokot tribe, a tribe located in the eastern part of the African country of Kenya, has a convenient location and many tourists travel there, so some of their strange local customs are known to everyone. .

The most famous custom of this tribe is their marriage-robbing custom. When the bride gets married, she will cry very sadly. Many tourists said that when they came here and saw the bride-robbing people, they felt that they were as rude as bandits trying to rob someone. The brides They all look painful. But tourists can't do anything. Even though they feel distressed, they can't do anything about it, because this is their deep-rooted habit and thought, and we can't change it at once.

The Pokot tribe also adheres to the system of polygamy, and it is also a society where men are superior to women, and women have a low status. These girls cannot choose their significant other at all. When they reach the marriageable age, their parents will lock their daughters in a dark room and wait for a suitable man to choose. After negotiating the betrothal gift, the men can find Come and take a woman with you on a good day.

The most frightening thing is that before getting married, women of the Pokot tribe must undergo circumcision to show their purity. It also binds their future sexual life and forces them to be loyal to their husbands. Although circumcision is now illegal in Kenya, these primitive tribes stubbornly believe that this custom is correct and insist on forcing women to undergo circumcision. The harm caused by circumcision to women is immeasurable, and the painful and dirty environment has also led to the death of many women from circumcision. I hope the relevant local authorities can actually find a way to solve this problem and save these poor women.
