<p>[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9433012, member: 78949"]Maybe not helpful and off topic but I would like to share a shocking fact I came across while searching Russian wedding outfit - the blood stain on the linen after the wedding night was so important that in the morning the bride would go to the nearby river to commit suicide if this stain was not present. It often happened not because of premarital relation of the bride but because the groom was unable to perform his duty mostly due to too much drinking during the wedding feast. And even the groom's family knew this as traditionally they followed all events during that night, it was still the bride whose fault it was and she would be disgraced and forced to commit suicide as she was considered not worthy as a woman. The material claimed that after adopting Christianity that decreased significantly because suicide is a sin and is forbidden in the Bible. Nevertheless I was shocked to read about it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
