What does the bride wear when she gets married in Nepal?

Nepal applied ointment to the bride when she got married.

There is a unique custom in the traditional wedding in Nepal, which is the "Nepalese girl wedding", also known as the Siraitia grosvenorii wedding. During her adolescence, that is, from the age of 23 to adolescence, the little girl of Nevard nationality had to hold a maiden wedding with a local fruit-Siraitia grosvenorii, also known as Bergo. Only when a girl has a virgin wedding can she have a real adult wedding.

Now, in Nevard, not all families hold this ceremony for their daughters. However, any girl who has held a fruit wedding will hold another "kiln residence" ceremony, which will be held when the girl is at menarche. And put the girl in a room without lights, usually upstairs.

In this dark room, girls have to stay 1 1 day. Eating and drinking are sent by older women at home, and must not be seen by outsiders, especially men. 12 On this day, girls must get up before sunrise, take a bath first, then apply ointment on their bodies, then be blindfolded and taken to the terrace on the roof.

At this time, the sun rose, the girl's blindfold was untied and she began to worship the sun, which was actually a purification ceremony. After the purification of the darkroom, she became an adult woman, and can also meet the formal wedding.

Nepal's special marriage customs;

In some areas of Nepal, "polygamy" is still practiced. In Nepal, a woman can marry more than one man. These people may be strangers or related by blood. In other words, even if a woman's two husbands are brothers, it is normal in Nepal's eyes.

The reason why this custom of "polygamy" exists is that Nepal's economic development is very backward, and the cultivated land area in remote areas is scarce, which cannot meet the needs of residents for means of subsistence.

Under such conditions, the implementation of the "polyandry" system, where several families jointly raise a woman and form a big family, can solve the problem of material needs and meet the needs of all men for women, especially in areas with relatively scarce materials.
