Marriage Ceremony Cancelled After Man Finds Tattoo On Bride’s Thigh During Her Chastity Rites

A fascinating tale of failed bride price negotiations has taken the internet by storm. In an online post, the potential bride’s purity was checked by her uncle, and he noticed a tattoo on her thigh while she had the customary ritual. As a result, Iobola negotiations (pride price negotiations) were called off.

In the traditional Iobola ritual, families engage in a delicate dance of bargaining, seeking agreement on a price that symbolizes the union of two souls. Once paid with animals, Iobola embraces modernity, with cash or cattle often used as the currency of choice, depending on the families’ circumstances.

The fact that uncles allegedly administered the traditional chastity test astonished many people. the Christian Science Monitor claims that older women in the household typically administer the test.
