Do Hindu people hang copy of Geeta over bride's head? What about ' Jo bhi kahoon ga sach kahoong' ceremony in courts by putting hand on Geeta / Quran?
There is oath involved in the testimony. Here its nothing, they just hang it over the head. That, after indulging in unislamic ceremonies and all that jazz.

In ancient India it was common to held ceremonies like Sauyamar and contest for winning a lady. I think Rama also had to go through such contest for Sita. Famous Draupadi incident from Mahabharat also followed by one of such contests.

** Neck Rings
**
In a few African and Asian cultures neck rings are worn usually to create the appearance that the neck has been stretched. Small girls may wear brass collars from the age of two to five years old, as it is more comfortable to lengthen the neck slowly. The alternative is rapidly, and painfully lengthening the neck around the age of twelve, when girls first compete for the attention of boys. Tourism is often blamed for encouraging the use of neck rings, as they are a popular attraction for tourists.

** Seppuku** Seppuku, a form of self-sacrifice, was a common practice of the samurai warriors. The warriors used it to avoid being taken by enemies. Sometimes the daimyo ordered a warrior to commit seppuku. The main reason for this ritual was to restore or protect one's honor as a warrior. Only those of the samurai caste were allowed to participate. The warrior was bathed and dressed in white robes. After eating his favorite meal, his instrument was placed in front of him. He would write a death poem. Then he would open his clothing and plunge his knife into his abdomen. His selected attendant would then cut the warrior's neck, leaving just a small band of flesh attaching the head to the body.
then whatz harakiri?

Lip Plate:-
The lip plate, also known as a lip plug or lip disc, is a form of body modification. Increasingly larger discs (usually circular, and made from clay or wood) are inserted into a pierced hole in either the upper or lower lip, or both, thereby stretching it. The term labret denotes all kinds of pierced-lip ornaments, including plates and plugs.
Archeological evidence indicates that labrets have been independently invented no less than six times, in Sudan and Ethiopia (8700 BC), Mesoamerica (1500 BC), and Coastal Ecuador (500 BC).[SUP][1]](Lip plate - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Today, the custom is maintained by a few groups in Africa and Amazonia.

**Guy Fawkes Night
**
Guy Fawkes Night (or “bonfire night”), held on 5 November in the United Kingdom and some parts of the Commonwealth, is a commemoration of the plot, during which an effigy of Fawkes is burned, often accompanied by a fireworks display. The word “guy”, meaning “man” or “person”, is derived from his name. Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries, belonged to a group of Catholic Restorationists from England who planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Their aim was to displace Protestant rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while King James I and the entire Protestant, and even most of the Catholic, aristocracy and nobility were inside. The conspirators saw this as a necessary reaction to the systematic discrimination against English Catholics.
The Gunpowder Plot was led by Robert Catesby, but Fawkes was put in charge of its execution. He was arrested a few hours before the planned explosion, during a search of the cellars underneath Parliament in the early hours of 5 November prompted by the receipt of an anonymous warning letter. Basically it’s a celebration of the failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in Westminster.

Masai spitting
The Masai tribe, located in Kenya and Tanzania, greet each other by spitting. When greeting elders, a tribesman must spit in his hand before offering a handshake, thus showing respect. The men spit on newborns, telling them that they are bad. It is believed that if a baby is praised, it will be cursed with a bad life.
You could really abuse this tradition. If there is a person u don't like...then you hack up a good amount of phlegm (preferably when u have the flu) and then shake hands.

Kidnap and Marry
Latwoka , a tribe in Sudan has a very weird marriage tradition.If a guy wants to marry a girl,he kidnaps her. After kidnapping elderly people of his family go to girl’s father and ask for her hand. If girl’s father agrees he beats the guy:omg: a symbol of acceptance and if he doesn’t agree, the kidnapper marries the girl forcefully.
Now all the girls should thank God, they are not born in Latwoka.
