Just got to know and hear of this very important tradition and believe that marriage in South Sudan means a four years of freedom for the bride of Dinka Tribe.

Despite payment of dowry that ranges from 100 to 500 cows, the women are treated godly.
Once a man gets married, his wife will not cook or sweep for four years.

This period is called “Anyuuc” (Generous Welcoming). It is meant for the new bride to rest, relax and study her husband homestead values.
During this time, her husband’s sister will do the cooking, washing utensils, collecting firewood, fetching water, and doing other domestic work till later.

After the four years, her husband decides to arrange a very big party called “Thaat” (cooking festival) where 3 cows and 5 goats are slaughtered to initiate a wife into cooking for the family.

But if the man misbehaved during the four years the wife can decide to leave and she doesn’t even have to pay back the dowry.

Should this happens in your community what will be your reaction?
