- Thatching is in use to day. From January to March marriages take place. Matches are made in the district. Money is given as dowry. Stock and goods are given also. I never heard of marriages in the houses.In the mans house as a rule the wedding feast is held. Straw boys visit the houses. They dance and are received kindly.
