The Strangest Marriage Customs in the World: A Tribe That Jumps Over Bulls

We travel to Ethiopia’s Omo Valley and join the Hamer tribe during a marriage ceremony that includes dancing, drinking, and ritual flogging. We watch the girls endure repeated blows as a sign of their connection to the groom, while relatives and villagers gather around them. At sunset, we witness the groom’s final test as he jumps over several bulls, succeeding after the entire community comes together for the ceremony.
