Also that in certain tribal
communities in Central and East India -at puberty the youth of
opposite sex are sent to a closed house where they change partners
atleast every three days- to avoid get into relationships etc.
What is
some communitities in western india in north rajasthan had wife swapping tradition long ago --- but nothing on these lines. Incidently this I remember reading in a book on tribal culture of central india and heard about Nagaland's tradition - of some tribes from my father. UmeshChan Mahanta
