Zhuang custom:

Zhuang is a hospitable people. In the past, guests who visited any Zhuang village were regarded as guests of the whole village. Often, several families invited them to dinner in turn, and sometimes they ate five or six at a meal.

We have the habit of visiting each other at ordinary times. For example, if a family kills pigs, we must invite one person from every household in the village to have a meal. Be sure to prepare wine on the table to entertain guests, which will be grand.

The custom of toasting is to drink and exchange cups. In fact, instead of cups, we use a white porcelain spoon to scoop up a piece and give each other a toast with both hands. When guests arrive home, they will give them the best accommodation as far as they can, especially for the elderly and new guests.

When having a meal, you must wait for the oldest old person to take a seat before you can have a meal; The younger generation must not eat the dishes that the elders have not touched. When serving tea and rice to the elders and guests, they must hold them with both hands, and they cannot be handed to the elders from the front of the guests or from behind.

Those who eat first should tell their elders and guests one by one to eat slowly before leaving the table. The younger generation can't eat behind the whole table. Marriage of Zhuang nationality takes the form of free love and arranged by parents. Generally, they enjoy full freedom of love before marriage, but parents often interfere with arranged marriage.

The Zhuang people generally practice monogamy. Women, like men, are family laborers, but only men have the right to inherit. In its marriage system, staying at home or staying at home prevailed, and this custom is still maintained in some places now.

After the young men and women get married, the bride goes back to her parents' home to live in, and only stays in her husband's house for a short time during major festivals and busy farming seasons, and only stays in her husband's house for a long time after pregnancy.

Therefore, the period of staying in a husband's home varies from three to five years. Historically, there was sexual freedom during the period of not leaving home, and it was influenced by Confucian culture in modern times.

I think this is an improper behavior, and it is forbidden. Offenders may divorce or compensate certain property. Now love is free and marriage is independent.
