What I have hear and seen is Whenever people want to get their murders or any other heinous crimes forgiven, they take Quran Pak with them in order to get their plea heard and make others believe them....This usually happens a lot in villages and all.
yes this happens too, but its not only Sindh. We read in history that this was done during earlier Islamic history by Sahaba e Rasool (SAW)

Marrying the Quran and all is only been heard and seen in stories and ptv dramas...I don't think that it really happens in real life. I think that maybe some people prefer marrying their kids within their own family and if the girls don't find anyone within their own family they are left unmarried so people have just giving it this image and its made to think that girls are married to the Quran. At least this is what I think happens.
Yes exactly, never seen this in my surrounding and media never reported such incidents. May be the customs was followed say 50 years ago. But still there are families, where ladies opt to be Jiji and practice (made to practice) celibacy

There is no specific story, but I observe many ladies who teach Quran (locally known as Jiji) were not married. Who says there are no 'nuns' in Muslim society?

*Melting Tins, Finland * On New Year’s Eve, the Finnish melt horseshoe tins in a metal ladle. As soon as the tin liquefies, they pour it on a bucket with ice-cold water. The random shapes that appear in the water is then interpreted. A round shape or ring shape means an wedding coming up in the following year. An animal shape is considered prosperity. And a ship shape means travel or journey.
This is not only done in Finland but also here in Austria.

** Tibetan Burial**
Sky burial was once a common funerarl practice in Tibet. The corpse is offered to the vultures. After death, the deceased will be left untouched for three days. Monks will chant around the corpse. After the chanting, the body breakers prepare the body for consumption by the vultures. The body is unwrapped and the first cut is made on the back. Hatchets and cleavers are used to quickly cut the body up, in a definite and precise way. Flesh is cut into chunks of meat. The internal organs are cut into pieces. Bones are smashed into splinters and then mixed with tsampa, roasted barley flour. During the process of breaking up the body, birds circle overhead, awaiting their feast. The birds land and hop about, grabbing for food. To assure ascent of the soul, the entire body of the deceased should be eaten. After the bone mixture, and then the flesh.
