Strict restrictions on cross-border marriage, women are inferior to men in Bhutan

1, if you are lucky enough to travel to Bhutan, I believe that the people there wear clothing is very interested in, because the people here are dressed in uniform, this is a national regulation, in the public **** occasions must wear traditional dress, this history has been more than 400 years, the man is wearing a heavy robe known as "women", and women wear a one-piece dress known as "qi la", and how to identify a person's social status can be seen from the scarf above the left shoulder, and the woman's social status can be seen from the scarf above the left shoulder. Women wear one-piece dresses called "qi la", and for how to identify a person's social status, you can look at the color of the scarf on the top of the left shoulder, the general public scarf color is white, while the nobles and monks are yellow scarves.

2. About 10% of the children in Bhutan are educated in monastic schools.

3. Bhutanese people have a fertility cult, with male ding-dongs painted everywhere in the streets, which is the same as some Tibetan customs and culture.

4. Bhutan strictly restricts cross-border marriages and encourages domestic marriages, and those who marry foreigners are penalized.

5. A traditional country where women are honored by men. Family tradition way, the first right of inheritance of the house property is the eldest daughter, not the son, the reason why this will be done, on the one hand, respect and protect women at the same time, but also hope that the male through their own ability to obtain more wealth, and here to say more, the previous concept in Bhutan, women can be completely monogamous polygamy, see how high the status.

6, generally speaking, in the Bhutanese people get married, there will be some monks to give chanting prayers, because it is believed that this will allow couples to build a strong bond in the heart, after marriage is the man living in the woman's home, wait until the man has the ability to buy a new house, can only be moved out from the woman.

7. The law of monogamous marriage was only enacted in 1980. Yet this new institution of marriage was not practiced harshly. In Bhutan, which has a long tradition of polygamy and polyandry, even though the law explicitly prohibits it, there are still men who can marry three wives in reality, and in some remote mountainous areas, polygamy still exists.

8, in Bhutan, as long as men and women live together, even if it is married, completely without ceremony. And one of the party left home and did not return, resulting in the fact that the divorce is divorced, the two sides do not need to go through any formalities at all. In Bhutan, only the aristocrats or the rich hold religiously flavored marriage ceremonies with large banquets. The average Bhutanese cannot afford a costly wedding.

9. In 2004, Bhutan passed a comprehensive anti-smoking bill, becoming the first and only country in the world to ban smoking. The sale of cigarettes is banned in the country, smoking is prohibited in all public ****ing places, and the police have the right to break in even if people are found smoking in residential buildings and offices.
