strange traditions

The second time I got married, my wife's aunt brought a tub and went inside with me and my wife to witness the consummation of our marriage. I turned to my wife and whispered in her ear, "Why is she here? what is that big plate for?" My wife answered me that she was going to be with us to wash our feet together and then witness the first sexual intercourse between us. Of course, I disagreed at once and told her to tell her aunt to get out of the room. Then my wife brought a white scarf and put it under her. I didn't care about it and we finished our first night with screams and that red fluid came from her into that white cloth. Then my wife happily and proudly took that piece of cloth to her mother which she showed it to her neighbors and friends and relatives. I was shy when I knew about it. Basically, traditions, habits, and religions differ from one society to the other. In our communities, the chastity or virginity of the bride depends on her hymen. Her husband is the man who opens that membrane. Do you agree to have other people present on your first night of marriage? Does it mean absolute masculinity and feminity for both sides?  What do you think? Is witnessing a consummation of marriage considered a strange tradition?

  • Tumara merhbani Aamish Sohail. I agree with that. We are educated people and we should behave like that. Thanks for your kind feelings. The lesson is for us all. I gave my example so that not to let other people fall in the same hole. Thanks again for your comment.

  • I know there are many strange and old traditions that we get from our ancestors. Some of them are good and most of them are baseless and have no reason to live. As an educated man we should try to eliminate this and try to focus on something innovative. The tradition that you discussed above is very sensitive and this information should remain between only husband and wife. As a muslim if your wife asked you to do something like that then you should help her understand what is right and what is wrong.  

  • Muito obrigado James Nungo! If you live long, you will see more. It's a good thing to be good and clean. some people exaggerate too much, don't they?

  • Terima kasih banyak erin! Saya harap akan menjadi teman kamu. Some traditions are good and some traditions are bad. Humiliation is not good. Those people used to express their dignity and purity in a strange way. Thanks,  Erin, I hope to be one of your friends.

  • Merci beaucoup Tamimu! The person feels very shy when someone is watching him or her making love. You were very reasonable my dear good friend. Thank you!

    I do not agree to have other people present in my first night of marriage, apart from feeling shy, I don't think if it is a good I deal and it is beyond my religious beliefs I think.

    So I prefer the use of white cloth as a bead sheet to witness if she's virgin or not instead of those primitive beliefs

  • Bilkul sahih hain Rahul! Respect is required between us. As my friend Segantin said that we should respect their habits and traditions. Thanks Rahul!

    In my opinion, each and every cultures and rituals has a very crucial and particular reason behind it. We just need to find that reason. only through this way we can clear our all doubts.

    BTW this is an informative blog. I did not know that this happens after marriage. :D
