What are the strange customs abroad?

Every place has its own different wedding customs, but in some areas, up wedding customs make people mind-boggling, some even make people feel difficult to understand, in fact, most of the customs of the wedding are still to bless the newcomers, but only the expression of a different way, the following small make-up to take you to see the bizarre wedding customs abroad! Prohibit urination and defecation Customary place: part of Malaysia There is nothing more beautiful than a wedding. It is, after all, the first day of two happily united people, filled with friends, flowers and delicious food. But for some tribes of the Taitung ethnic group in northern Borneo (Malaysia), the wedding is the first day of an agonizing journey to and from the deepest depths of hell. From this day on, the couple is not allowed to defecate for 72 hours.  This Tidong tradition states that the newly married couple must not leave the house and must not urinate or defecate under any circumstances for the entire three days and nights. This is why they are often watched by the family and given very little food and water, and the Tidong believe that if the couple does what is asked of them, they will live a long and happy life with many grown children, so the rewards are high.  Come to think of it, this custom is a spark of genius. There's no life like this where two people are tied together to **** through a difficult time, and there's nothing tougher than not being allowed to go to the bathroom for almost half a week. When the three days are up, they will be closer than ever because they will no longer be just husband and wife ...... They will be poop buddies.  Marrying an animal to exorcise a demon Customary place: some parts of India Superstition is not uncommon in Western culture, especially in weddings. Without wearing the old, new, borrowed, and blue foursome, most brides would rather set fire to the church right away and postpone the wedding than get married. Don't even think about looking at your fiancée before the wedding, even if you're three steps away from the church at the time.  But the Santhal tribe of India decided to out-do us all and take the wedding craziness as far as they could. They believe that if a baby girl has a tooth in her upper dental bed, it means she will be eaten by a tiger or something before long, because the devil hates her. So she has to marry a dog. That's what 9-year-old Indian girl Karnamoni Handsa went through: she was "married" to a local stray Panchayat dog, around which 100 guests, drunk on home brew, danced and cheered. Hmmm... ...... Anyway, at least moonshine isn't weird at an inter-species wedding ......  The good news is that this was just a fake wedding and the pair didn't need to consummate their marriage. It was only meant to exorcise an evil spirit so the girl could later marry a real boy. Thank goodness, otherwise this exorcism between a child and a dog would be incredible.  Bride Kidnapping Customary Place: Romani communities (worldwide) For most couples, the beginning of love can be traced back to a special night at a college sorority, where the couple first locked eyes in a crowded room, and then, with a passionate moment in the backseat and a broken condom - to eternity. However, some cultures have decided to skip all that romantic bullshit and make the leap from "not knowing each other" to marriage by committing a criminal act - kidnapping the bride.  The Romany people, also known as Gypsies, have had a tradition for centuries that if you can manage to forcibly kidnap a girl and keep her by your side for two to three days, she officially becomes your wife. This may have made sense a long time ago, as it saved you from having to pay the bride's parents a gift and from having to accompany them to Thanksgiving ****ing dinner every year. But even in today's day and age, this phenomenon is still not uncommon in Romani culture, and many women have had it happen to them that the big fat guy who once coerced them with a bottle of chloroform (which can cause unconsciousness) in a McDonald's restroom is now the love of their lives.  Some of you are probably thinking, is this even fucking legal? Well, it's a cultural practice of a large ethnic minority, and most governments would rather segregate with barbed wire than ban an ethnic minority tradition - that's tantamount to letting the government's public relations kill itself.  FATTENING VILLAGE PLACE OF CUSTOM: MAURITANIA (AFRICA) Around the world, standards of beauty vary. For example, while most Western brides would love to lose weight by removing their kidneys before their wedding day, some cultures find "stronger" women more attractive ...... and are prepared to go to great lengths to put more padding on their women. Enter the fattening villages of Mauritania.  A fattening village is the opposite of a diet camp. Brides as young as five are sent there to fatten up, closely supervised by wrinkled old ladies in order to make them more attractive and get married as soon as possible. In this custom, called Leblouh, the girls are forced to eat huge piles of food - which may include 3.6 pounds of millet and 22.7 liters of camel's milk per day - and if they vomit, the supervising hags force them to eat it. It was said that they were often tortured if they couldn't eat it all. So, OK, maybe those places aren't so different from diet camps.  Sadly, the custom had practically disappeared, but just a few years ago a military junta took over the country and then revived the custom, probably in the hope that fat women would be easier to catch or something.  The Blackened Bride The Scots are in many ways like typical Europeans, but with a few obvious quirks: they eat sheep's entrails, they wear men's dresses, and they throw eggs and sauces, which are smelly and dirty, at the bride instead of rice.  This custom, called "blackening the bride," is a very old Scottish tradition, some say even older than that of Sean Connery. Sean Connery himself. Sean Connery himself. It's part of a prank that takes place just before the wedding. The bride was caught off guard by the worst of her friends and was covered from head to toe in all sorts of filth. It can be any number of contraptions: from those spoiled milks in the back of your refrigerator to tar and feathers. The purpose of this can be twofold: either to make men respectable (think of all the Scotsmen who worship the never-bathed, homeless chick as a god), or to set women up for future married life, because nothing happens after that that's more cruel or humiliating than "blacking out".  It's kind of like beating up your bride before you say "I do". You'll do no more violence than that later in life, so your wife will at least not be disappointed, or at best surprised. Man, the Scots have this whole marriage thing down pat.  After reading these several exotic wedding customs you are not a kind of cool feeling? A few of these wedding customs are still very BT... Looking back or our Chinese wedding customs good ah, eat and drink good uncomfortable said. But strange wedding customs a can say is a culture, but also a different kind of blessing.
