Warning: In no way, shape or form, is this meant to be taken as a joke. Domestic Violence/Abuse against any person; married or dating between boy/girlfriends or husbands and wives that are married is no laughng matter.

In every culture, there is a differing opinion on how the husband and wife should be treated depending on their culture and upbringing in regards to personal and religious beliefs, but this struck me as just, down right almost crazy and laughable, but the matter of it all isn't funny. It seems, the mountain town of Chkara Chkara, Bolivia; there is a telling that if a man is working in the fields and his pants drop down, much like some of us here in the U.S. wear our shorts, especially guys, for a kind of fashion statment. For the men of Chkara Chkara, this is a sign from their Pagan Goddess, Pocho-Mama (not sure of the spelling) that their wife is committing adultery.

With this, the men are to IMMEADITELY leave the field and return home to where they are to punch their wife in the mouth. Kind of a means of telling them that they are not to do it ever again unless they want to get punched in the mouth again. Which makes figuring out whether or not the case of the people's teeth being due to hygiene or abuse from a spouse a hard case to differ between.

Kind of makes you glad you live here in the U.S. where you don't have to live in fear that your husband or boyfriend's pants dropping to half mast and you ending up giving a face full of fist sandwich when you are being honest instead of actually doing the act.

Just a little something I'd share with you that my Mom shared with me from her time when she went to Bolivia with our Church on a Mission Trip that I thought I'd share
