MARRIAGE IN S0UTH SUDAN MEANS 4 YEARS 0F FREED0M F0R BRIDE

Today we tour the Dinka custom of marriage. Despite payment of dowry that ranges from 100 to 500 cows, women are treated godly.
0nce a man gets married, his wife will nòt cook or sweep for 4 years.

This period is called "Anyuuc" (Generous Welcoming). It is meant for the new bride to rest, relax and study her husband homestead values.

During this time, her husband's sister will do the cooking, washing utensils, collecting firewood, fetching water, and doing other domestic work till later.

After 4 years, her husband decides to arrange a very big party called "Thaat" (cooking festival) where 3 cows and 5 goats are slaughtered to initiate a wife into cooking for the family.

But if the man misbehaved during the 4 years the wife can decide to leave and she doesn't even have to pay back dowry.

What if the wife kick bucket before the 4 years?

It means the man spent 100-500 cows for a useless venture.

You must be kidding. You will not cook or sweep for four solid years? What will you now be doing? This is an aberration to us here.

This is a silly question to ask. Just because you don't understand someone's lifestyle doesn't give you the licence to abuse them.

Very nice culture.

Op add source.


My only worry is that these South Sudan people really look scary angry


They need to encourage interracial and international marriage among their youths to help them get some new breed of better looking citizens in some decades to come cry
