In their community, there is a bizarre practice that married couples should not use the toilet for the first 3 days. Violation of this rule will have dire consequences for the couple. It is the belief of the tribe that tragedies such as marital breakdown, infidelity, and the death of the couple's children at a young age will occur. So, there will be many to watch the young couple.
The couple will be given a limited amount of food and water. After 3 days, the couple will be allowed to take a shower and use the bathroom. Whenever a wedding ceremony is held among the aboriginal people, the couple must follow this strange practice. After all the formalities including the wedding ceremony are over, the couple will be taken to a room. The couple will spend the first 3 days in that room. But, they can not go to the toilet in a rage or urgency.
For this, the couple's relatives take the responsibility of carrying out the task of surveillance. Do couples really succeed in this challenge without committing any fraud? They confirm that.
