Mind you, in Yemen families could also rent jewellery for a wedding.;) Not really, I remember seeing them used in the mid-1960s, and probably even later. So that is less than 60 years ago. The Netherlands has some very traditional regions and villages. Not backward, but people who prefer tradition. Of course tradional societies do adapt and change, but only if they feel the need to.
