Beautiful Nepal Women: Nepalese girls are bright and moving


Nepalese women marry three times in their lives and marry at the age of seven, which is not allowed in other countries.

Yes, Nepal is definitely the oldest woman in the world to get married, they can get married at the age of seven, and even the latest, they usually marry before the age of 20.

This is one of Nepal's most peculiar customs: local women marry three times in their lives. Don't be too surprised, this is really not fiction, Nepali women usually complete their first marriage at the age of 7-9. It's just that they are not married to people, but to the fruit of a plant: the bell tree fruit.

What is this fruit? It is a special local wood apple, also called Bengal apple. It is said that the wooden apple is the embodiment of the Hindu god Siva and that all Nepalese maidens are her "brides". This kind of apple wedding is known locally as "Yixi", and only the girl who has been married will be blessed by the god Siva.

 

Today, Nepal has turned the festival into a special festival in the country, which is very grand and lively. In the past, there was a saying that women who participated in Yixi were not allowed to participate. Now that this rule has been relaxed, all Newar people can participate in the festival.

The second time a Nepalese girl marries is still not a person, but the sun. This time they had to wait until the girl had a menstrual cycle, which Nepalis consider ominous, and they locked the girl in a dark house for 11 days.

 

During this time, the girl can come into contact with anyone, otherwise, that person will be patronized by bad luck. Until the 12th day, when the sun rose, the girl took a bath and was blindfolded, taken out of the room, and then went to a high place to "get married" in the sun.

After that, Nepalese girls are truly called women, and they can choose to remarry. The reason why they say this is because the apple they marry for the first time will not be bad for many years, it is a symbol of eternity, which is the real "husband" of Nepalese women.

If a woman chooses a man to marry and feels that life is not good, they can take out this apple and put it in front of the man, which means that she is leaving. And if the man dies earlier than the woman, the woman does not have to worry about widowhood, as long as the apple is placed next to the man's body, she can remarry.

 

Although this is custom, it is difficult for many men outside Nepal to accept. After all, you can't get married early until you're seven years old. This means that the Nepalese girl you married is a "remarried" woman.

The most unacceptable thing is the reality that women can leave with an apple. This custom is perfectly reasonable locally, but for men in other countries, it is too inexplicable.

However, even so, it is not easy for you to marry a real Nepalese Newar girl, why? Because Nepal has the most direct choice for girls in its own country.

 

The strange custom in Nepal, women are not taken seriously, and men who marry widows are rewarded

Why is it not easy to marry a real Newar girl? In fact, this requires us to know something about the tragic fate of Nepalese women.

Nepal is known to be a very poor country, and the civil war has been going on for years, resulting in fewer men than women in the country. This is very unfair to women themselves, but male families often use the amount of dowry of women to measure women's family status. In some families, they will directly drive their wives with little dowry out of the house, or even domestic violence.

Under such circumstances, the social status of women can be imagined. However, in order to encourage widows to remarry, the government has introduced a very bizarre policy: whoever remarries a widow will receive a subsidy of 50,000 rupees rewarded by the government.

This amount may not be very tempting in our eyes, because it is equivalent to less than 5,000 in renminbi. But this is different in Nepal, where an ordinary migrant worker earns only a year.

The policy appears to be aimed at giving Nepalese women a home, but it has given many men an opportunity to get rich. They saw widows as cash cows and married homes in order to receive that allowance.

The problem is that widows who marry home are almost servants in their in-laws' households, unable to wear brightly colored clothes, have no voice, and cannot participate in festive events because they are labeled ominous. And this is not the worst, the worst thing is that men are not united out of love, and what awaits these women is only abuse and discrimination.

So some widows in Nepal organized marches to protest the government's use of them as commodities for people to choose from. Their slogans are "We don't want a dowry from the government", "The government's decision is to create discrimination among women", etc.

 

In this way, we can understand that if you want to marry a beautiful girl in Nepal, it is simply impossible, because the men in the country have a better chance than you. Even if they came for the 50,000 rupees subsidy, they were approved by the Nepalese government. Compared with foreign marriage partners, it is not easy to accept.

Does it go that women themselves do not have the right to determine their own destiny? Of course not, if there is, I am afraid it will not be called a tragedy. It is said that some Nepalese women can't afford to buy a ticket even if they want to take the bus, but how much does it cost? 10 rupees, converted into yuan, is probably less than nine cents.

Nepalese women live such humble lives that the so-called Siwa god makes them remarried women, while real marriage makes them commodities. This kind of life is only because of a local custom, just because of poverty.

After all, Nepalese women are so self-empowered that it is said that until now, they cannot stay at home when they come to their in-laws' houses. Some people are even driven to live with animals, and such a life is so sad that Nepalese women should wake up.
