Strange tradition of Mandi tribe of Bangladesh, where father becomes daughter’s husband!

Wedding tradition Mandi tribe: There are many tribes around the world including India who still maintain their special and unique traditions. Some tribes have adopted modernity with the changing times, while some other tribes still follow them even today. One of these traditions is related to the Mandi tribe located in the south-eastern forests of Bangladesh.

In which a father brings up his daughter with love and respect, but when she grows up, he becomes her husband. This tradition may seem strange and surprising to many people. However, this has become a reality in the Mandi tribe. Let us know about this practice in more depth.

Unique tradition related to marriage in Mandi tribe

It is customary in the Mandi tribe that a man marries a young widow. If the widow has a daughter, it is already decided that the daughter will marry the same person who was her father during her childhood.

In fact, the girl who once called him father, later has to accept him as her husband. It is noteworthy that, according to this tradition, it is necessary for the girl to have a stepfather. The logic behind this practice is that the husband can provide protection to both his wife and daughter for a long time.

Describing this tradition, a member of the Mandi tribe said that her father died in her childhood, after which her mother remarried a man named Noten. When she grew up, she came to know that her husband was actually her biological father.

Know the logic behind this tradition

She told that, in her childhood, she loved her father very much, because he took very good care of her and did not let her lack anything. However, she later came to know that her marriage had been fixed at the age of three. She is not the only girl in the Mandi tribe who has had to face this tradition. The lives of many other girls of the tribe have been similarly affected.

Of course this tradition may have importance for the tribe, but in today’s times its relevance is decreasing. The report shows that gradually some people are moving away from this practice. Apart from this, some women are choosing not to remarry to protect the future of their daughters. Nevertheless, some members of the tribe continue to follow this tradition willingly.
