Chinese media Boom?According to xNews and the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, several men recently tied a bride in traditional wedding clothes to a telephone pole with tape at a wedding in Shaanxi Province, China.
The bride screamed and tried to run away, but no one helped her. It's because it's a joke at a wedding.
One man, an old friend of the groom's, said that the groom and the bride agreed in advance 'Joke'.
He added "It's our local custom to make fun scenes at weddings"There's no harm in good friends' pranks."."
The groom was also at the scene at the time, and everyone looked to see if the bride was safe, he said. "I hope others don't misunderstand the situation."
But online, there was an outpouring of criticism.
Netizens are saying, "'It's disgusting to build one's own joy over the pain of another person.'"Who's responsible if something happens to the bride?", "These customs are relics of a bygone era."
As the controversy grew, the groom's friends apologized on social media, saying it was excessive.
Local media explain that the excessive pranks witnessed at traditional Chinese weddings are intended to create a festive atmosphere and relax the couple.
Recently, however, it has turned into crude jokes and inappropriate games.
At a wedding in Wuhan, Hubei Province, guests tied bananas or cucumbers to the groom and had the bride bite, or a man take off his clothes to pose with the bride.
