Marriage in this Bayankole tribe is of great importance as parents derive joy and pride from their children\u2019s marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to this Ugandan tradition, when a girl gets to the age of eight or nine, it is the duty of her aunt to groom her for family life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Virginity in this culture is held in high esteem so the girls must abstain from premarital s\u20acx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ankole tribe considers the slim physique unattractive. To them, fat is simply sexy. So when girls get to the ages eight and nine, they are required to go through a fattening process. This is usually done to speed up the weight gain of the girls so they can attract a husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Banyakole marriage involves several ceremonies including a Giveaway period know as \u201cKuhingira\u201d where the relatives and friends of the bride present her with gifts such as cows and other food items to take to her matrimonial home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the wedding day, a feast is organized at the bride\u2019s home where the father is to slaughter a bull while at the groom\u2019s home there is also a feast to consummate the marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But first, there has to be one last ceremony, that involves tests that must be done by the bride\u2019s aunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It involves the bride\u2019s aunt testing the sexual ability of the groom by having s\u20acx with him. This is to make sure they are potent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the act, she learns all his s\u20acx tricks as well as favorite styles so she can gift her niece with pointers on what the groom likes sexually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After confirmation is done the bride is then taught by her Aunt and allowed to consummate the marriage by being sent by her Aunt to the husband with her blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
