Wonder Weddings Planners
Girls are eligible to be married from 12-15. Boys are eligible to be married from the age 25-30. Usually the marriage is predetermined by the girl’s parents and groom( the groom’s parents). Eligible Brides must have a dowry(A dowry is a gift of money, property, cattle, or something else of real value). The bride and groom are wed at the groom’s home. Once she arrived, the groom would give her an apple to show that he will provide to all her basic needs. Then comes the ceremony,which is just a set of rituals. The rituals usually start with baths. The groom would go have a feast at the bride’s father’s house, after which the groom would take his bride back to his parents’ house. Then they were showered with nuts and fruit. But, in order for the bride to be accepted to the groom’s family, she must bear his child.
