So many people in China will choose to go to some countries with strange and interesting customs to feel. Perhaps most people think of Thailand and Vietnam for the first time. These two places do have incomprehensible cultural customs and living habits.
However, what I want to talk about today is not these two countries that many people go to, but India, which also has many customs that undermine the three views. I believe everyone has heard that in India, women are particularly discriminated against. Indians advocate obesity, which represents wealth and beauty. In Indian society where men are superior to women, women who have to pay a large dowry at the time of marriage and are only used as fertility tools have extremely low social status. It is also inconceivable that Indian women cannot divorce after marriage. They have to serve their husbands all their lives.
But wives should also pray for a long life for their husbands. Because in India, widows have to perform the Hindu ritual of "martyrdom", and women have to be cremated after their husbands have just passed away to express their loyalty to them.
In India, ordinary people do this, especially in the royal family. Before the ceremony, aristocratic wives also need to take photos on the door wall with many handprints, bathe, dress neatly, then parade in a sedan chair and finally be lit next to their husbands' bodies.
Another custom is that women marry animals to exorcise demons? Indians believe in gods and supernatural forces. If a girl is born deformed or born on an unlucky day, she will think that she is unlucky and will bring bad luck to her future husband. Therefore, in order to eliminate bad luck and exorcism, these girls must marry a tree or an animal before they can marry a man.
Speaking of marriage, in India, this ancient custom has continued to this day. Parents, relatives or neighbors choose a groom for the girl, and the girl can only obey, and there is no room for resistance. Arranged marriage often cannot guarantee the happiness of a girl's life. In an arranged marriage, the woman must bring a valuable dowry to the man.
