  • It also a common practice in some local villagers the death of an individual attract a life COW before the dease can be led to rest, that is (allowed to be buried).

  • In some community the illtrement of persons is base on there statue, for instances when couple with fertility challenges decide to go adoption, they consider it as an abormination., (taboo). And when a woman die with pregnancy she will not be buried a long side with other deases, they will throw her in an evill forest.

I have supported you

Hello @disephthankgod. Thank you for sharing this with the community. there's always room to learn about culture and tradition.

I see you're new on Hive, so let me drop you a few suggestions to help you navigate better on our platform.

We have different communities on Hive and we're encouraging users to post in the right community based on the topic of the post. This post for example would fit better in Cross Culture community.

OCD is for topics that don't fit in any other community and should be used when you don't find a niche community for your post.

Tags should be related to the topic of your post. I see you're using OCD, OCDB and ECENCY. There's no need for those tags as you gain no advantage by using them.

Here's a guide I put together to help you learn about how communities work and why you should use them -> Communities Explained - Newbie Guide.

Once you posted your post in the right community, you can then cross post it to OCD community. Here's a guide about cross posting.

Please don't delete any post with the purpose of reposting it in another community as that can be considered abuse! Leave this post here, you'll get it right next time.

Thank you very much
