Hello everyone.

Shocking traditions

9. Bomena is a Bhutanese tradition that allows men to go into an unmarried woman's house to spend the night with her.

In the eastern parts of the Himalayan kingdom, young men looking for love and marriage head out at night for a different kind of hunt. They stealthily enter an unmarried woman's house to spend the night with them. If they are caught with the girl, they have to marry her or work in her father's field as a punishment. This ritual is very problematic and is much debated today as women are subjected to rape and an invasion of privacy.

10. A large sculpture shaped like a penis is worshipped in Japan.

Also known as the Kanamara Matsuri, devotees carry a large sculpture in the shape of a penis and walk through the streets of Kawasaki in Japan. It is believed that a demoness with vaginal teeth seduced men to their deaths until temple priests used a metal d**k to destroy her deadly secret weapon. It is said that the shrine offers divine protections for business prosperity and for a good and happy life. This festival has become a tourist attraction and the money raised here is used for HIV research.

Though the money realised is used for something innovative, it is still weird, don't you think?

11. A local tribe from the Amazon rainforest believes in consuming the dead.

As bizarre as it sounds, the Yanomami tribe who live in the Amazon rainforest believe that no physical trace of a dead body should be left behind in order for its soul to rest in peace. So, they prefer consuming the dead. The ash and bone powder that is obtained after performing the cremation is mixed into a plantain soup and is consumed by the deceased's family. They also believe that by doing so the soul of their lost and loved ones will reside within them.

OMG😱 That one strange tradition

12. Newly married couples have to get their tooth filed in Bali as a symbol of entering adulthood.

While it is normal to file our nails, Balinese men and women have their teeth filed just before getting married. Yes, it has a symbolic meaning. Smoothened teeth symbolises control over sinful emotions like greed, lust, anger and jealously. This ritual basically marks the passage into adulthood. Though, is an extremely grueling and painful experience.

Can I get a free tooth hole filling? I can? Then I'm off to go marry Balinese woman😂😂

13. In Rome food items are supplied through pipes into the graves of the dead.

Yup, you read the right. Romans believe in feeding the dead. In fact, the graves contain pipes through which the kin of the deceased pour honey, wine and other food items into the graves of the dead. This is done to appease the dead and to honor them in the afterlife.

Yehhh, free food for the dead.

14. Men in China carry their pregnant wives over burning coal so that they can have an easy delivery that's free from complications.

Well, it is believed that if the husband carries his pregnant wife over burning coal on his bare feet, his wife will have an easy delivery. Also, they believe this ritual highlights the compassion and love that the to-be father has for the newborn child, and the mother.

Ouch! It's hot but I'm a caring father 🥰

In Northern Borne, newly weds aren't allowed to use the bathroom for three days.

This bizarre custom is followed by the Tidong tribe from northern Borne. Newly weds are basically prohibited from using the bathroom for three days after their wedding. Yes, this means no urinating, no shitting or bathing. It is believed that by performing this custom, the couple lead a happy married life. Apparently, forcing them to hold their bladders and poop for three days strengthens the bond between the couple.

Again thank God this tradition doesn't exist in Nigeria, if not, I'll be like: "eww darling, you stink!" And she'll be like : "thanks love, you stink too"😂
