The Tribe Where Women Raise And Marry Their Children. by Globetech(m): 2:53pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
[/b]The tribe where women raise and marry their children[b] Bonda tribe in India is known as one of the primitive tribes that still exist even in 2022. Usually, a woman will marry a boy at the age of 9-10 years and begin to live together as husband and wife; and within their relationship, the woman raises her husband so that when she becomes old he will have to take care of her. Women from the Bonda tribes get married between 25–30. If a boy passes the age of 14 he is considered as too old to be a husband. The wife is also like a tutor that takes care of educating her “child husband” in all manners and making sure that once they reach an age when they can sustain themselves and the wife, they have the knowledge required to do so. Due to this culture, the population within the Bonda tribes is mainly made of women and this is because women are seen as more valued than men within their culture. They are considered more powerful, more knowledgeable, and with a long life expectancy. AN UNUSUAL WEDLOCK One of the most unusual things about this tribe is their Marriage procession. Bonda women marry boys ten or twelve years younger than them. So a BONDA girl in her twenties marries a ten-year-old. She takes an oath to protect and feed her child husband until he becomes an adult. And the husband in return takes an oath to feed and protect the girl when she ages and loses her strength in future. Instead of dowry, they pay exact opposite, termed as ‘BRIDE PRICE’. Elder brother of child groom can pay the bride price, but the groom has to return it later compulsorily. Economic needs and physical support are the prime motives of such marriages; sexual relationship becomes a second priority. An intimate relationship is not established until boys become adults.

We may find this culture strange, but funny enough some cultures we practise as African may seem strange to them as well. The world we live. 1 Like |
