yeah, got the message too .....
I can't go till after my sister's wedding ......
and if you guys are wondering why I'm in here ..... it's cos of
some pantang ......
I have been exiled to my room till the BIL crosses the threshold
.....
as it is, I can hear him yelling downstairs .... I think the
ladies are forcing chilli on him ....
i still think that's an insane "tradition" and it's not a
tradition..
it's demeaning, idiotic, screwed up and in essence, the
"sisters" are treating the bride like she's some sort of commodity
which they are bargaining for their own pleasure and profit..
there's a term used which someone is bring traded for
profit...
in any case, there was an incident which my friend was part of
the "brothers"... the "lead brother" was very fierce... he brought
heavy chains and chained up the gates, imprisoning the "sisters"
and then went for breakfast... the groom was beside himself but
after a tense standoff, the "sisters" blinked and let the
"brothers" in...
it was a mess but the "sisters" were demanding idiotic
things...
