Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting and extraordinary wedding rituals across the world.

Mauritania wedding ritual, fatter wife for god luck: Generally most of the girls want to look slim and beautiful in their wedding dress. But, in Mauritania, a fatty, plump, full-bodied wife is said to signify good luck and prosperity in a marriage. Therefore, the family members of the girl often forced her to become fatter for the wedding day. Sometimes, it causes them endless illness and health issues because of sudden increase in the weight.

South Korea, beating the groom’s feet: In South Korea, the rituals of beating the groom’s feet takes place after the wedding ceremony. In this ceremony, the groom’s friends remove his shoes and tie his feet together with a rope of sash. They then lift his legs off the ground and start beating the soles of his feet with a stick or dried yellow corvine. They believe that it will make the groom stronger before the first wedding night. It is more a kind of fun tradition, where the friends and family members check the strength of the groom by doing so. Even they also ask different questions and quizzes to check his knowledge.

France, drinking the leftover from toilet bowl: This is probably one of the most weird and unique custom in its nature. Once the wedding ceremonies are over, the family members and friends of the bride collect left-overs and then stuff it in a toilet bowl. Once they fill the toilet bowl with it, they enter the couple’s room and threaten that they will not leave until and unless the couple drinks it.

If they break this custom they supposedly brings bad luck to the couple, in the form bad luck, in the form of broken marriage, death of their children or infidelity.

Kenya, spitting on the bride:  This is another unique and bizarre wedding rituals of Massai from Kenya. When the people of this community held any wedding, the bride’s head is shaved and lamb fat and oil is applied on her head. After all the wedding rituals, the father of the bride blesses his daughter by spitting on her head and breast.

Big Fat Indian Wedding

A recent bill placed in the Lok Sabha seeks to put a limit on the number of guests to be invited and different cuisines and dishes to be served in wedding to check ‘ show of wealth’. They also ask for a contribution towards marriages of poor girls from those who will spend more than Rs. 5 lakhs in wedding.

According to the bill introduced by the Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan, if any family spends more than Rs. 5 lakhs on a wedding, it has to contribute 10 per cent of the amount on marriage of the girls from poor families.

This Marriages (Compulsory Registration and Prevention of Wasteful Expenditure) Bill, 2016, may be taken up as private member’s bill in the upcoming Lok Sabha session.

Rajneet told that the main objective of introducing this bill is to prohibit extravagant and wasteful expenditure on marriages and to enforce simpler solemnization.

She further added, “Great importance should be assigned to the solemnization of marriage between two individuals. But unfortunately, these days a tendency of celebrating marriages with pomp and show and spending lavishly growing in the country.”

“These days, marriages are more about showing off your wealth and as a result, poor families are under tremendous social pressure to spend more. This is needed to be checked as it is not good for society at large.”

She also mentioned that “if any family intends to spend more than Rs 5 lakh towards expenditure on marriage, such family shall declare the amount proposed to be spent in advance to the appropriate government and contribute 10 per cent of such amount in a welfare fund which shall be established by the appropriate government to assist the poor and Below Poverty Line families for the marriage of their daughters.”

The bill says that once this proposed legislation comes into force, all marriages shall be registered within 60 days of the solemnization. It also requested government to fix an upper cap for guests and relatives and number of dishes to be served and the same criteria will be implemented on the reception held thereafter as it may help in minimizing the wastage of food items in the wedding.
