The Dhaka Times Desk We have never heard of such a thing before. The really amazing thing is that there is a country where the wife's finger is cut off when the husband dies!
According to media reports, if the husband dies, is the wife's finger cut off to mourn? Although it seems surprising to hear the matter, such a custom is prevalent among the Dani community of Papua, Indonesia.
According to the custom of the Dani community of Papua, whenever the head of the family dies, several fingers of the wife's hands are cut off as a sign of mourning. The people of Papua's Dani community believe that it brings peace to the soul of the deceased. Before cutting the finger, the widow's hand is tied tightly, so that the blood flow to her hand is stopped. After that the finger was brutally chopped off with an axe.
It is very surprising that the widows there have to bear this custom with pain. This cruel practice has been going on for a long time in that community. If you go to that island, you will see many fingerless women.
It should be noted that recently the government of Indonesia has already imposed a ban on this inhumane practice.
