Traditionally, leather reins were used for punishment, and the flogging took place in the stable. The offending husband's pants were removed. The wife and mother-in-law sat on the offending husband's back and legs. The flogging was administered by a special woman, the village headwoman, usually the strongest woman in the village⦠The tradition is very ancient. It is said that regular, severe flogging promotes good erections. According to the women, husbands do not provoke the flogging, but when they are guilty, they are forced to obey. Nowadays, a simple belt is more commonly used. Divorce is virtually nonexistent in this region.
