Shoot the bride: The Yugurs (an ethnic Chinese minority) have a very scary tradition of the groom shooting the bride right before the wedding. The groom is required to aim and shoot at the bride three times with a blunt arrow. Once the deed is done, he has to collect the arrows and break them, in a way, ensuring that they will not harm each other, ever. Even though there are missing arrowheads, getting shot at might still hurt as hell. Ouch! (Source: northwoodrings.com)
