The second time I got married, my wife's aunt brought a tub and went inside with me and my wife to witness the consummation of our marriage. I turned to my wife and whispered in her ear, "Why is she here? what is that big plate for?" My wife answered me that she was going to be with us to wash our feet together and then witness the first sexual intercourse between us. Of course, I disagreed at once and told her to tell her aunt to get out of the room. Then my wife brought a white scarf and put it under her. I didn't care about it and we finished our first night with screams and that red fluid came from her into that white cloth. Then my wife happily and proudly took that piece of cloth to her mother which she showed it to her neighbors and friends and relatives. I was shy when I knew about it. Basically, traditions, habits, and religions differ from one society to the other. In our communities, the chastity or virginity of the bride depends on her hymen. Her husband is the man who opens that membrane. Do you agree to have other people present on your first night of marriage? Does it mean absolute masculinity and feminity for both sides? What do you think? Is witnessing a consummation of marriage considered a strange tradition?

Danyawaad Dhruv! Nice comment! It's true that on these days things have changed. A woman can play and when it comes to the time of her marriage, she seeks a good doctor to make things as before. I hope to be one of your friends.

virginity is considered as a guarantee of purity of soul and body of a woman in every society, and with the change in society, mindset shall have to be changed because one cannot judge women on the basis of her virginity.

Nanndree Chitra! Take it easy. It's not my culture, but as my friend, Rogerio from Brazil said, we have to respect other people's cultures in a way, I mean. Mr. Abdennour also mentioned that it was not in our religions or Sunnah to do it. We want to handle the matter and try to find solutions for it. It's really bad and out of common sense. Read the comment of teacher Tanya. According to her, on her grandmother's days, that was in Europe, they used to perform that. Thanks, Chitra for your comment!
