In different parts of the world, men are not permitted to lay their hands on women. The men who lay their hands on women are seen as weaklings and wicked men. However, things are completely different in the Hamar tribe which is located among the bush covered hills on the Eastern side of the Omo valley in southern Ethiopia. The Hamar tribe have different cultures including the cattle jumping ceremony where women get whipped to prove their love for men. When the ceremony usually starts, with female relatives dancing after which they offer themselves to men who have been initiated for whipping. This tradition which requires men to beat women is called, Ukuli Bula and is held in Omo River Valley. The women of Hamar tribe get whipped till their backs start bleeding. They believe that their scars shows the level of love they have for a man. While they get whipped, the women are not permitted to scream but rather, they beg and plead for the men to continue beating them. Women are whipped as part of a right passage ceremony for boys, when a female confess her love to a boy. This ceremony makes way for the boy to become a man and be able to get married. In this tribe, the men beat the women whenever they feel like even after the ceremony. The men do not need to give the women any explanations as they have a rule which makes men beat the women any time, any day. Their beatings leaves scars on the body of the women which they normally show off as a sign of beauty. What is your take on this? From Opera News |

I've heard about this tribe before. Its quiet unfortunate, its 21th century, those people need civilization. How can a scar from whip be associated with level of love for a person, it doesn't make any sent. |
