Scared tradition in my community.

Tradition is specific in every community, people hold on to so many things that are said by elders believing that they have more knowledge about life. In my community we are not an exception because there are lots of traditions that are scared.

In my community it's a tradition that you can not marry your relative. No matter how the love or bond is, it is a taboo to marry from your relatives.

That's why before marriage the elders will dig deep into knowing where both parties are from . If they are related the marriage will be dissolved, if the move on to marry they will be ex-communicated from the community. If the elders discover that relative are having extra marital affairs the people involved will be queried if they continue their bed will be burnt to ashes.

Other consequences involved in this practice is the two lovers maybe stocked together during sexual intercourse until they are caught.

If they are seen in this manner some rituals will be done before they will be separated.

Amazing to learn your cultural tradition! Old wedding customs mean a lot. They help us keep our culture alive. These traditions also celebrate true love. They also honor our family's past.

Each region tries to stay alive and as healthy as possible by doing its most ancient traditions.
It all has to do with culture and the way of preserving a healthy custom according to the ancestors.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.

"This is such an insightful post! I truly respect how your community upholds its traditions with seriousness and discipline. The way elders investigate family roots before marriage shows how deeply values are preserved Though strict, these customs reflect a strong sense of identity and moral boundaries Thank you for sharing this fascinating aspect of your culture!"

It seems to me that they have a respectable and strict discipline, which although it may seem strong, is one of the ways they maintain to preserve their race. Something strong if you do not comply with the advice of the elders, but it is as if they themselves are the law. They will act in the form of judges and vigilantes.

It is a tradition that tries to keep the breed pure, without crossbreeding diseases among family members. In this way, the same diseases are not transmitted from generation to generation and duplicated.
It seems to me that the elders in your community know what they are doing by maintaining this custom.
Although it may seem cruel, it is a way of preserving themselves as a community.
The bad thing is that they resort to violence if those affected do not comply, it means that they go with all their might to avoid the crossing of blood.

Yes. It's a serious thing. They don't joke with punishing the defaulters.

У нас в России тоже нельзя жениться на родственниках, но никто не проверяет это...
Мне рассказывали, что двоюродные брат и сестра поженились. Опасались болезней у детей, но все родились здоровыми.
Пусть ваша традиция живет долго, желательно всегда! 🙏 ❤️

Wow, good to hear, thanks for commenting.
