Some time ago a colleague of mine told me a rather strange ritual during the coffee break. I do not remember why we were talking about Gitanos . Los Gitanos are a gypsy community living in Spain, but that is not exactly like the gypsies in Italy we know, in the physical look alike but are not nomadic and in the English city live in neighborhoods that are los barrios gitanos . not so much feared as thieves apartment, but rather because usually (with some exceptions) involved in drug dealing. Here, we were talking gitanos of weddings and when my colleague told me that the daughter of a cousin was madly in love with a gypsy boy when he was 17 or 18 years and were determined to get married. Apparently the guy was (and is) one of the famous exceptions because it works as a mechanic (or electrician ... can not remember) and has nothing to do with the drug dealers around, but apparently the girl's parents worried a bit 'intentions when they learned of her daughter. The problem of a relationship between payos (name that is used to refer to the English gitanos NOT) and that is gitanos gypsy culture is a bit 'different from ours, I would venture to say retrograde, and women do not are nothing but a surrogate husband. Moreover, even in gypsy families prefer that their children marry and never with gitanos payos ... in short, that relationship started badly. My colleague told me that her cousin's daughter once ran away from home and took refuge in the house of the future in-laws to show that she would not have been made to convince his parents and was going to marry the boy she loved. After various adventures the wedding was decided. And here we reach the famous ritual that I want to talk ... Apparently los gitanos can marry only with women who are still virgins and to prove the women must submit to "the pañuelo prueba (test of the handkerchief) before of marriage. The boy's family claims, to accept the marriage, that she was undergoing the assay. The "prueba pañuelo of" takes place in the father's parents 'house where they meet all the women of the family and the bride, one of the older women of the family went to the house equipped with a white handkerchief embroidered with which it will break down' hymen of the girl. The procedure is performed in a particular way that allows the embroidery handkerchief (which, I think I understand, three white roses) are stained with the blood of the girl and her handkerchief, which was initially all white, become white with three red roses. All women attending the family to witness the ritual che non ci sia nessun inganno e is the risulta essere vergine ragazza, the Portaña fuori dalla stanza in collo dove gli uomini della famiglia il Verdette Aspettando stann. La mia Collega avrebbe potuto assistere the ritual eating donna della famiglia della sposa, ma questo singolare you say di perdersi event.

time ago a co-worker told me a ritual a bit weird for breakfast. I do not remember why we were talking about weddings and Gypsies and my partner told me that the daughter of a cousin, with 17 or 18, fell in love with a gypsy and wanted marry him. The boy, so he told me he had nothing to do with that part of the gypsies who sell drugs. He worked as a mechanic in a workshop (or electrician ... can not remember), but her parents were concerned to learn of the will of his daughter. What gave them was more afraid of gypsy culture that sees women as an appendage of their husbands, a backward culture I would say. Besides his family, like most FAMILIS Roma, also wanted the son to marry a paya ... the relationship began badly. My partner told me that her cousin's daughter one day he came to escape from home and went to live with the future in-laws so that parents understand I will not be convinced and would have married the guy I wanted. After spending a few adventures the wedding was set. And here's the famous ritual of which I speak ... Apparently Roma women can only marry virgins, and to demonstrate that women are subjected to the "tissue test" before the wedding. The boy's family tried to accept the wedding that the girl will perform those tests. The "tissue test" takes place in the house of the groom's parents where they meet all the women of the family and fiancee, one of the older women in the family wears a white handkerchief embroidered used to break the hymen of girl. The procedure has a specific technique that allows the embroidered handkerchief (which are, as I have understood, three white roses) is stained with the blood of the girl and the scarf, which at first is completely white, white display three red roses. All women attending the ritual family to witness that there is no deception and if the girl is a virgin, are caught in the arm out of the room where the men of the family are awaiting the outcome. My partner would have been able to participate in the ritual as a woman of the family, but decided to miss this unique event.
