Fresh Details On Why Lady In Trending Video Repeatedly Stopped Groom From Dancing With His Bride

In a surprising twist, Locals in Northern Ghana have come forward to explain the actions of a lady captured in a trending video repeatedly stopping a groom from dancing with his bride at their wedding.

According to the locals, the lady’s action is actually a traditional practice in their culture.

The video, which went viral on Monday, showed a lady taking over the dance floor, keeping the groom to herself, despite efforts to allow him to dance with his bride. 

The irony was how calm the bride appeared; dancing and smiling alone, throughout the entire process.

The groom, Salman, who identifies as @Salmaanfaris1, on X, clarified, “This was not a scene of marital discord but a playful tradition known as “Da’chahili”. 

“It’s our culture. She’s my wife from my family. Before I marry another woman, I need to pay her.”

Another X User with the identity, @KDagbon, said, “No. The groom is our son, Salmaan. This is neither Islamic nor attributable to some side chick saga.”

He added, “It’s a “Dagbanli” tradition known as “Da’chahili”. It’s all play. They are probably cousins. It’s also an opportunity for her to have made money, a lot of money “

KoyoKoyo, whose identity is @HelKoybut on X, added, “They “wanted” her to stop, but they needed to pay her adequately. She didn’t go overboard, she played her part perfectly. The groom couldn’t get away that easily. His family and the bride also played their parts perfectly. To outsiders, it looked like a real scuffle was going on.”

Another user, Ibraheem whose identity is   @yaron_tamale explained,  “This is very common among we dagombas..traditionally, your female cousins are regarded as your wives and mostly, during your wedding they tend to do this just to let the woman know she is stealing their husband and this is nothing serious as you people are portraying it.”
