The most famous custom of this tribe is the custom of robbing marriage. The bride will cry very sadly when she gets married. Many tourists said that when they came here to see the wedding robbery, they felt as rude as robbers robbing people, and the brides all looked miserable. But tourists can't help it, although they feel distressed, because this is their deep-rooted habit and thought, and we can't change it all at once.
The Bokai people also practice polygamy, and it is also a social nature that men are superior to women, and women's status is low. These girls can't choose their other half at all. At marriageable age, parents will lock their daughters in a dark room and wait for the right man to choose. After talking about the bride price, the man can find a good day to take the woman away.
The most terrible thing is that Bokai women must be circumcised before marriage to show purity, which is also a constraint on their later sexual life and forces them to be loyal to their husbands. Although circumcision is illegal in Kenya now, among these primitive tribes, they stubbornly believe that this custom is correct and insist on forcing women to undergo circumcision. The harm of circumcision to women is immeasurable, and the painful and dirty environment has also caused many women to die of circumcision. I hope the local government can really find a way to solve this problem and save these poor women.
