As previously reported, it’s a common tradition in Swaziland for the king to choose a wife each year.
The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual event held in August or September, where unmarried ladies travel to Ludzidzini to take part in the 8-day event and would-be brides have their virginity checked publicly.
