The most incredible alternative wedding custom in the world

The world is so big that it is full of wonders! It is a very happy thing to get married and hold a wedding ceremony! At least in most countries, but in some tribes in many areas, there are still incredible marriage customs!

1. Marrying animals to drive away ghosts (some areas in India)

Western culture is also superstitious, especially holding a wedding. Most brides would rather burn down a church and postpone their wedding than rush into a marriage. The Santhal tribe of India believe that if a baby girl has a tooth in her upper gums, it means that she will be eaten by a tiger or die in the near future because the ghosts hate her. Therefore, she must marry a dog. Fortunately, this is just to ward off evil spirits, and after a while the girl can marry a real boy.

2. Bride kidnapping (within the Roma community)

Most couples can be traced back to a special night, when a young man and woman had their first time in a crowded room. They met each other and their long love began. However, some cultures decide to skip this lengthy stage of romance and jump straight to marriage?Bride kidnapping.

The Roma, also known as Gypsies, have had this tradition for centuries, and if you successfully kidnap a girl for two to three days, she will officially become your wife. In the olden days, this might have saved you a lot of trouble trying to bribe the bride's parents. But even in this era, Roma people are accustomed to this tradition and do not think it strange.

Some of you may be wondering, isn’t this illegal? This is a cultural custom of an ethnic minority, and if a government prohibits ethnic minorities from practicing their related customs, it is tantamount to suicide.

3. The Black Bride (Scotland)

The people of Scotland are like typical Europeans, and still have several notable quirks. They eat sheep offal, they wear men's skirts, they throw rotten eggs and sauce at the bride.

This is a very old Scottish tradition. Caught off guard, the bride reaches down with her hands and is covered in sauce from head to toe. This can make the bride understand the prospects after the wedding, so the bride will not be very disappointed after the wedding.

4. No urination or defecation allowed (in some areas of Malaysia)

Nothing is more beautiful than a wedding. It is the beginning of a happy marriage for all couples. But for the tribes of northern Borneo, weddings are hell and a grueling journey. On this day, the husband and wife are not allowed to have any convenience within 72 hours, and they can only stay in their own rooms. That's why they often watch their watches carefully and eat very little food and water. After going through this process, the people of this tribe believe that the husband and wife are not only husband and wife, but also partners in adversity and hardship, and who share the same boat through thick and thin.

5. Gain weight before marriage, the fatter you are, the more attractive you are (Mauritania)

Different parts of the world have different standards for beauty. For example, in some cultures, while most Western brides diet before getting married, Mauritanians consider a fatter bride to be more attractive.

Five young brides gain weight in public to become more attractive and get married as soon as possible. The girls were forced to eat an entire truckload of food, more than 4 pounds of millet and 5 gallons of camel milk, and if they vomited, the supervising witch would force them to eat. Unfortunately, this practice had all but disappeared until it was revived a few years ago when the military junta took over the country.
