The bridegroom is usually whipped by his male relatives during the wedding ceremony. This is a way for him to become an adult and show how brave he is. There is no set number of lashes, but it is not unusual for the groom to get dozens or even hundreds.
Some Fulani people say that the practice is a cultural tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. Other Fulani people say that it is a form of violence and abuse that should be outlawed.
Human rights groups have asked the government to stop the practice because it could cause serious injuries or even death. They say that the practice is especially bad for young men and can cause long-term physical and mental harm.
Local government officials have also said they are worried about the practice and have promised to work with community leaders to find a solution. In some places, the government has already started to take steps to teach people about the dangers of bridegroom whipping and try to get them to stop doing it.
Even with these efforts, the practice is still common in many parts of West Africa, and it is still not clear if it can be stopped for good. As the debate over bridegroom whipping goes on, it's clear that it's a complicated issue that will need the help of community leaders, government officials, and human rights activists to solve.
As the world becomes more interconnected and people's values change, people from different cultures need to understand and respect each other's customs and traditions. They should also know how important it is to protect human rights.
