MARRIAGE IN TIBET.
Counting and Wedding Etiquette In tho
Forbidden Land.

Counting and Wedding Etiquette In tho
Forbidden Land.
In A. Henry Savage Landor's ac-
count Of The Forbidden Land we
read that among the Shokas. when q
young couple consider marriage advis-
able. the young man. dressed III his
best clothes. proceeds to the house of
his intended father-in-faw, carrying
wine. grilled grain. dried fruit. sugar
candy and other sweetmeats.
If the bridegroom is thought a suit
able match, the parents Of the girl re-
ceiye the young man with due consid-
Grafton and partake heartily of the
food and drink proffered by him.
The marriage is there and then ar
ranged, the bridegroom further dis
bursting to the father sum of not less
than 5 rupees and not more than 100.
This is supposed to be the money
equivalent to the sum spent by the
relatives of the girl In bringing her up.
The marriage ceremony then fol-
lows. and this is simplicity itself. A
cake called "delang" is baked, OF
which the friends of the two families
partake, If either the bridegroom or
the bride refuses to eat share OF the
cake, the marriage is broken of. If
they both eat some Of the cake and
later any discussion arises between
them. all those who assisted at the
function. are called as witnesses that
the marriage took place. g,
Often even this primitive ceremony
Of eating cake is dispensed with, and
Shoka marriages begin and continue
as happy and faithful unions without
any special form of service or rite to
solemnize the tie.
A breach Of the seventh command.
ment is severely visited not only on
the guilty man, who Is well beaten, but
on his parents. The Shoka men pro.
coed en- masse to the parental dwell.
ing and completely denude It Of all fur.
niture, stores Of grain and merchan.
disc.
They confiscate the sheep, goats, val;
and all their valuable saddles and
loads and present the whole proceeds
to the person who has been wronged
by the guilty pair as some sort Of rec.
ompense.
Frequently the unfortunate aud In
nocent relatives Of the evildoer are
bound and even beaten to death by the
villagers.
These severe measures are resorted
to to maintain a high standard Of mo.
rality and honor, and there is little
doubt that, primitive as these methods
may seem, the good results obtained
more than justify them.
An institution which the author
speaks Of as surprising in q primitive
people, but nevertheless, to his way OF
thinking, qeIninently sensible and ad
vantageous, is called the Rambang. &
place or club where girls and young
men meet at night for the sake Of bet
ter acquaintance prior to entering into
matrimony. Each village possesses one
or more institutions of this kind, and
they are patronized by we'll to do PEG.
pie, who recognize the institution as a
sound basis on which marriage can be
arranged.
Rambang houses are either in the
village itself or halfway between one
village and the next, the young women
of one village thus entering into am
icable relations with the young men OF
the other. and vice versa.
