Chinese Wedding Tradition of Ripping Groom’s Clothes Under Fire

The Chinese wedding tradition of ripping the groom’s clothes is criticized for disrespect

A groom in Guangdong, China, was outraged at a long-standing wedding tradition.

The groom, eagerly anticipating a joyous wedding celebration with his bride, complained, “The wedding was chaotic due to the excessive excitement of the guests from the bride’s side.”

In the released photos, the groom is neatly dressed, heading to the bride’s waiting room.

As he knelt to embrace his bride, a group of guests, including the bride’s relatives and friends, rushed in, tearing his clothes.

In the blink of an eye, his attire is reduced to just a shirt, with the buttons already ripped off.

The bride’s relatives, friends, and even the bride appear to enjoy the situation, treating it as usual.

Upon releasing these photos online, tens of thousands of netizens criticized the act.

Meanwhile, this behavior is rooted in a long-standing wedding tradition passed down through generations in many rural areas of China, where it is customary for the groom, the bridal party, or both families to go through during the wedding.
