The hamer tribe found in southern Ethiopia is the most famous tribe to maintain “patience” within marriage!
It is said that before a man can give a place he has to test the woman he wants to marry if he will have to endure stress and pleasure in marriage!
The measure is that a woman should herself look for a good stick and hand it over to the man, and then the man has to whip up enough strokes for the woman and she should not show any signs of pain or cry and if she succeeds, then the woman will have a reputation for patience and a great place will be given to her.
