Strange custom of sharing husband in Bangladesh
(Baonghean.vn) - On the occasion of President Tran Dai Quang's visit to Bangladesh. Let's explore interesting things about this country.
1. The country with the most rivers in the world
 |
| Bangladesh is a country with many rivers (about 700), including the Jamuna, Padma (Ganga in Indian) and Megha. The river in Dhaka is the Buriganga, or Old Lady Ganga, which was once part of the Ganges, but is now a separate river. Throughout the day the river is crowded with people crossing the river by ferry, and cargo ships are busy unloading their goods. |
2. The country of the pinnacle of religious and spiritual architecture
 |
| Mosques, Hindu temples (Dhakeshwari Temple) or sacred Catholic churches are the souls of the indigenous people. Having gone through many changes, Bangladesh still has many historical architectural works that amaze visitors. More specifically, historical relics in Bangladesh are not strange, but are always closely associated with the daily lives of the people. |
3. Life has not been commercialized too much
 |
| Unlike India, Bangladesh has not really developed many tourism services. Therefore, the culture and people of Bangladesh are still very pure and genuine; tourists to Bangladesh do not have to witness the scenes of selling goods on the street. Bangladeshi people are extremely friendly; love to chat and even take pictures with tourists. |
4. Beautiful and peaceful natural scenery
 |
| Although not a developed country, Bangladesh has a very proud natural landscape, especially on the water: mangrove forests and the longest white sand beach in the world; a dense but poetic river system; cool tropical forests; pristine orchids and water lilies. The climate here is also quite special, divided into 6 seasons: Grismo (summer), Barsha (rainy season), sharat (autumn), Hemanta (cool season), ba (winter) and boshonto (spring). |
5. Rich and diverse cuisine
 |
Bangladesh is a paradise of delicious vegetarian dishes made from rice and vegetables all year round. Spices are also very rich and colorful; so much so that there is a wonderful Karwan Bazar. Morog-polao Nanna Biriani is one of the very special dishes of Bangladesh. Morog-polao is often served at weddings or other big family festivals. This dish consists of chicken and rice cooked in a special way with a large portion of chicken, served with a drink called borhani. |
6. Strange custom of sharing husband
 |
| In Bangladesh, there is still a very strange custom, when a mother wants to remarry, there must be a condition that the daughter in the family also becomes the wife of the newlywed husband. Many "half-crying, half-laughing" stories from this love triangle have happened. Young girls of the Mandi tribe are victims of this "type" of arranged marriage and are struggling to escape this custom... |
7. Colorful people's lives
 |
| Like in India, Bangladeshis dress in quite colorful and striking clothes. Not to mention, Bangladeshis are also very multi-religious and multi-belief: from Islam, Buddhism, Christianity or Hinduism; making the art and culture in Bangladesh very unique. The streets of Bangladesh have many interesting sounds. |
8. The land of "child brides"
 |
| There is hardly any country in the world where there are as many “child brides” as Bangladesh – according to Unicef, nearly a third of girls in this country are married before the age of 15! Girls who marry while still in their prime do not only have to give up their childhood. After they marry, they are often isolated from society, family, friends and have almost no chance of education or employment. The vast majority of child wives will forever be housewives. |
9. The majority of the population is Muslim
 |
| The majority of people in Bangladesh, with 85% being Muslims, the rest follow other religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity. Unlike Pakistan and Afghanistan, it is a moderate Muslim country and there are no Islamic extremists here. No one discriminates if you don't cover your head here and you can dress however you want, do whatever you want. |
10. Water lily - symbol of Bangladesh
 |
| The lotus is considered an important religious symbol, especially in Islam. It represents a pure soul, because this flower, no matter where it grows, remains pure, no matter how dirty the place is. For the people of Bangladesh, in addition to considering this flower a symbol of purity, the lotus also has another meaning, which is a symbol of peace. In the capital of Bangladesh, a large lotus statue has been erected to show the respect of the people of this country for this flower. |
