Weirdest Wedding Traditions in the World
1. Cambodia: Cambodia let's take a quick journey to Cambodia a country in Southeast Asia to uncover one of the quirkiest and weirdest wedding rituals practiced by the Krung tribe. The Krung tribe is just one of the many tribes of Cambodia that have unique wedding traditions, but theirs is slightly different from anything you may have heard of when a young woman from the tribe reaches the age of marriage, her father then must build her a special cabin in the middle of the Jungle but this cabin is not just any old cabin that's built with logs. It's a cabin of love where the young woman can have as many suitors as she wishes until she finds the one who makes her heart sings that's right in the croon tribe multiple dating is not only allowed but it's also encouraged the cabin is built to give the young woman a private space to explore her romantic options and then make her choice once the young woman chooses her preferred Suitor, he has no choice but to accept her proposal and then become her husband but wait it gets even weirder according to tradition, the husband is not allowed to spend the night with his new wife until he's paid her father with a certain number of cows that's right Cows as in livestock. The More Cows that he can produce the more nights that he gets to spend with his wife now you may wonder what happens if the husband cannot afford to pay the bride price for cows, well according to the tradition the couple cannot live together until he has paid the price in full although this tradition may seem odd to all of us it's a beautiful and essential part of the tribe's culture and tradition it's fascinating to see how this practice has survived for centuries and is still relevant to them today.
