  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Marriages take place most frequently between Christmas and Easter. This time is called "Suraft". Some people would not get married on Monday or Tuesday or Friday because they believe these days are unluckly for marriages.
    When people get married they usally have a wedding. Boys dress up in straw and go to the house where the wedding is.
    Some straw boys behave very roughly and mor behave with manners.
