There are many primitive tribes in Africa. The cultural customs in these places are very strange, as well as in marriage. Some are polygamous, some are polygamous, and some have no fixed partners. Today, I want to introduce you to a very strange African custom. Many tourists who come to this tribe say that this custom is too cruel, but it is very common in the local area.
0 1 Africa's unique "marriage custom", men get married by "grabbing"
The tribe to be introduced to you today is called Bokai tribe, which is a primitive tribe in Africa. Their way of life is still primitive. They live by grazing and are unwilling to integrate into modern society. Now, because of tourism, their living standards are much better than before, and they are very friendly to tourists. There is a very strange marriage custom here, which scares tourists.
This is the marriage custom of Bokai people. In many economically backward areas, marriage customs are also barbaric. For example, there is no way to fall in love freely, and everything needs to be arranged by parents. But the Pokwete are much more than that. The wedding scene of this tribe is like a farce. Without knowing it, the bride will be taken away by the groom. Therefore, every wedding, the bride cries very sadly, which makes the tourists feel unbearable, but we should still respect the local customs.
The bride doesn't know the wedding date, but her parents look on coldly.
The strangest thing about Bokai people is that when they got married, the woman knew nothing about it. This is a local custom. They think it will be unlucky if the woman knows, but the wedding is decided by her parents and the man. This is a tribe that lives on grazing. The man will give the woman's parents some dowry, usually cattle and sheep. After the woman's parents agreed, the two sides discussed it for a day, and the man took the woman away.
All this is known to the woman's parents. Only the woman was kept in the dark and was taken away unprepared. Even though a lot of psychological construction has been done before, many brides can't help crying on this day, but their parents look on coldly. They think it's just to respect ancient customs.
The Poquitos are not particularly backward in many ways. They are monogamous, friendly to tourists and gentle in character. It's just that this custom makes people feel a little barbaric, but experts have always advocated respecting the customs of these primitive tribes, so this tribe still retains their customs.
