Marriage is considered as a holy bond between two individuals, a promise to stay together for the rest of their lives. Though it holds the same value across the world, it is celebrated differently in every country and religion. Everyone has certain rituals that the bride and groom need to follow before or after the wedding. But have you heard of a ritual where the bride is asked to go bald before the wedding? 

This weird and strange tradition is followed by the Borana tribe that is situated in the middle of Ethiopia and Somalia of South Africa. It consists of at least 500 thousand people. The tribe is dominated by men over women, while men take complete care of the village and the animals, the women are responsible for decorating the house and carrying out all the traditions is given to the women.

Coming back to the ritual, girls in the Borana tribe are given a chance to grow their hair only before marriage. Just before getting married, the girls have to shave a large part of their head in order to get a good groom. It is believed that if they shave their head then they will get a good husband. another shocking thing about the tribe is that they do not consider it good to be photographed, It is said that by doing this they can face a lack of blood in the body. While women have to shave their heads, the luckiest boy in the village is considered to be the one who keeps his hair the longest. 

As per reports, as society is progressing, the tribe is also moving forward with it. Now, girls are allowed to leave villages to settle in cities and have a better life.
