Marriage means union between two families. Marriage customs are also different from community to community. There are many marriage rules in different communities, which surprise people from other communities. Recently there has been a stir on the net media around the marriage of the Mandi tribe of Bangladesh.

Among the Mandi tribe, fathers marry their daughters. This strange rule has netizens thinking. Scorn has also started all around. The Mandi tribe is one of the tribal communities living in remote areas of Bangladesh. There is a custom in this community where the father marries the daughter as soon as she grows up.

Widow marriage is very prevalent among the Mandi tribe. When a woman's husband dies, another man marries her. The woman brings up the new husband's children as her own. And if that woman has a daughter, then her stepfather will marry her in the future.

In other words, the girl who grew up seeing him from childhood, has to sit down with him in marriage. But in this community, father-daughter marriages do not take place due to blood relations. Marriage between stepfather and daughter is common. People of this community say that if they marry a widow, they take the responsibility of their entire family with her. That is why this marriage custom is prevalent in their society.
