Banned market slogan

The development of human society is a process of continuous progress and abandoning bad habits. But even now, there are still many countries that maintain the traditions and customs of feudal society and even primitive society, such as polygamy in the countries of * * * *, the system of stealing marriage in Kyrgyzstan and so on. However, in Central America, there is a "wife swap" market, that is, the wife you don't like can be replaced directly in the market.

This country is Honduras in Central America. Honduras is known as the core and birthplace of Maya culture in ancient America, so many traditional customs of primitive Maya culture are preserved here. There are two points here. First, the name. In Mayan culture, names are very random, unlike most countries in the world, names should be inherited, meaningful and pleasant to listen to. On the other hand, Honduras has retained its own traditions.

Because Maya culture is exquisite, people like to give names to things they like. For example, among the 18 Mayan kings in Honduras, there are many names, some are called "Eighteen Rabbits", some are called Shekou, sticks and so on. This is its characteristic. Even now, many people's names are still like this, such as car tires, thank God, Clinton, Saddam and so on. Anyway, as a principle, you can call it whatever you like, which is very free.

Even more wonderful than the name is their "wife swap" market. In some parts of northern Honduras, there are four "wife exchange" fairs every year. In other words, any husband who doesn't like his wife can take his wife to the wife exchange market, sell it directly, or exchange it directly with others. It's free anyway. This system is also derived from Mayan culture. In the ancient Maya period, prisoners during the war were generally killed directly, while women were exchanged or traded. This tradition continues to this day.

Although Honduras has now realized the seriousness of the problem, it has promulgated laws prohibiting residents from taking names at will, and it is not allowed to take world celebrities as their names. And ordered the ban on "wife-swapping" market, but with little effect. Because the power of folk tradition is sometimes difficult to overthrow, and the residents there can't change the tradition for thousands of years quickly.
