#7 Massai Nation, Kenya

Now, what you are about to read is the weirdest marriage ritual ever. So Massais in Kenya have this ritual where the bride's head is shaved and lamb fat and oil is applied on her head. The father of the bride blesses his daughter by spitting on her head and chest.

Spitting in their culture is considered to be as a symbol of good luck and fortune. She then leaves with her husband and does not look back due to the fear of turning into stone. The husband doesn't stay in the house in which she stays for the next two days and then her mother in law shaves her head too. This is how the marriage is completed.

#6 South Korea

Even South Korea has a very weird post marriage ritual. It is called "beating the groom's feet." So according to this ritual, Groom's friends remove his shoes and tie his feet together with a rope or sash. They then lift his legs off the ground and start beating the soles of his feet with a stick or dried yellow corvina (a kind of fish).

They do this to prepare the groom for his first night. This is a fun activity more than a painful one.
