The Cursed Wedding
Description
Assalamu Alaikum. My ancestors used to say that our toba used to be very beautiful and happy as everyone used to have a very busy life by raising cows, goats, sheep, and other animals.
Once upon a time, there was a wedding program at a relative's house. When children become adults, it is their duty to get married on time. Everyone started preparing for the wedding. Relatives used to go to the city early in the morning and only return in the evening as they travelled on camels. Finally the day of marriage arrived and the wedding took place. [Unfortunately] during the first night of the wedding the bride died. People were worried and the wedding turned into mourning. People were worried and angry as the bride did not [seem to] have any [apparent] illness, everyone's happiness turned into sorrow. After a few months, another relative also had a wedding, but was afraid of what would happen to us.
The wedding took place and on the first night of the wedding, the groom died. People were very worried and sad about what was happening in their village. People started talking about different things: some people speculated about different reasons for their death. At that stage a wise man advised them to tell the village peer about the problem. The peer said that there was a jinn around and no one would get married here because the jinn would not allow any marriage. The people left the village and migrated to another village. There are still few people living but for any wedding occasion they go to another place and when the event finishes they return back [home].
