To prevent misfortune dead bachelor man have to marry died married woman!
Beijing: In a shocking and weird matter of erroneous belief that was reported from China’s Tianjin city where dead bachelor man have to marry woman so that they will not die as bachelor in their next life.
Basically, in China’s Tianjin city some died bachelors was married to dead married women so that they will not die in their next life as this is believed by the people and practice in this particular region.
Now in this regards, people in China believes that if a bachelor boy died without getting married then his body was laid to rest next to a grave of dead married woman so that he will not die as virgin in his next life.
Actually, it is believed here that the dead man who died without getting marriage is considered to be as abomination. So to avoid this bad luck, the families of the dead men were engaged in the search of the dead bodies of the married woman’s.
To complete this blind fate the family members use to perform some religious rituals after which the bodies were again buried separately next to each other in different graves.
Interestingly, recently Chinese media grabbed attention throughout world after they have reported that about 36 dead women’s bodies were went missing all of sudden during last year.
The bodies of dead women in China are being snatched from graves and sold for thousands of pounds to feed a growing demand for ‘corpse brides’.
In parts of the country an ancient superstition that it is bad luck for a man to die unmarried has been seeing resurgence.
To prevent misfortune, families are finding corpse brides for their bachelors by reinforcing female skeletons with metal wires, dressing them and burying them next to the man.
An increasing number of female bodies are being stolen from graves to be used in ‘ghost marriages’, leaving distraught families trying to track down their late relatives.
At least three dozen bodies have been reported stolen in the past three years in Southern Shanxi’s Hongtong County, according to Lin Xu, deputy director of the county police department.
In Erroneous belief dead bachelor man have to tie knot with died married woman:
Guo Qiwen, is looking for his mother’s body, which was stolen last March.
He said: “I have spent more than 50,000 yuan (£5,425) looking for her remains. It kills my heart not having her back.”
At least three dozen bodies have been reported stolen in the past three years in Southern Shanxi’s Hongtong County.
The tradition, which was practised in mediaeval China, was banned by Chairman Mao when he came to power in 1949.
After the ban, peasants buried their loved ones with pictures or dummies made of paper or dough.
But as wealth has increased, the practise of using real corpses has returned to some rural areas of Shanxi Province, northern Henan Province and Shaanxi Province.
But these are unable to keep up with the rising demand, and snatching bodies is very lucrative, with fresh corpse brides fetching over £11,000.
In 2011, a man was arrested for killing his wife and then trying to sell her body as a corpse bride.
Last year, three men were arrested after trying to sell bodies for more than £25,000.
Even old, decomposed bodies can be sold for over £500 according to local news media reported.
A man, Jing Gouzi, who bought a corpse to bury next to his single older brother told news agency: “I thought of using a woman made of dough, but the old men in our village insisted only real bodies could prevent misfortune.”
The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
