March 11, 2013 – Ritual Wedding: 8-Year-old Boy Married Woman 61 To Make Ancestors Happy In South Africa (Photos)
Few weeks ago NaijaGists.com shared with you the story of a young boy who married an elderly woman in South Africa to make his ancestors happy. Read the story here if you missed it
The 8-year-old boy identified as Sanele Masilela got married to a 61-year-old woman, Helen Shabangu in South Africa.
According to sources, this kind of ritual wedding is common in South Africa and Zimbabwe. They usually do it as a form of ritual to appease the gods.
The 61-year-old woman has five children with a husband but she must do the ritual wedding to avoid bad things from happening in the family of the boy.
See more photos from the ritual wedding below.

This is barbaric, ritual or not ritual. What will happen to the boy may still happen. Is only God that can break all protocols, oaths, covenants, yokes etc.

Obviously yall didnt read the first article about this theres more to it. And for yall to look down on a different culture way of life is sad. Your not over there you wasnt raised over there so obviously you wouldnt understand. It just like going from state to state in the US. Every state is different, every country is different.
