1.Latwoka , a tribe in Sudan has a very weird marriage tradition.If a guy wants to marry a girl,he kidnaps her. After kidnapping elderly people of his family go to girl’s father and ask for her hand. If girl’s father agrees he beats the guy as a symbol of acceptance and if he doesn’t agree, the kidnapper marries the girl forcefully.

2.Sharo Tradition


To me Sharo is one of the craziest and most inhuman tradition you can ever have.Some people in Mali,Nigeria and Cameroon practice this tradition by publicly beating a boy, who has come of age and wants to take a wife.Guy is beaten by a challenger and he has to suppress the signs of pain. If he is able to take the beating successfully he is declared a real man and if he fails , he simply can not take a wife. Many people lose their lives while proving their manhood.

3.Chewa Culture

There is another very disturbing ritual in Africa popular in Chewa people. When somebody belonging to Chewa culture dies, his relatives take the dead body to a sacred place, take a knife ,slit the throat open. They then pour water through to clean the bowels of all filth by squeezing the stomach to let it all out through the rear, stopping only when the water is clean. (Omg! #pukes)

The Sky burial or dissection is practiced by Tibetans. It is performed by cutting the corpse into pieces to expose flesh and elements (known as “Mahabhuta Sanskrit” – lithurgical language of Hinduism and Buddhism). The “Jhator” is ritual which is carry out by giving alms to the birds. Sky burial rituals are common to the local Tibetans. The “stupa” burial and cremations, on the other hand, are for the high Lamas who were given honorary funerals. Dead pregnant women, children below 18 years old and death caused by accident and infectious diseases were excluded from the Sky burial rituals.

The Sky burial rituals are headed by the monk. The monk starts by cutting the limbs and hacking the body into pieces. He then hands the parts of human skeleton to his assistant and pounds the bones by sledgehammers and rocks. The human body pulp is then mixed with “tsampa” (barley flour with tea, yak butter and milk). This mixture invites vultures to consume the flesh. The pounded bones are given to crows and hawks.
