Love hut tradition

This ethnic group has had a certain popularity because they have a certain originality in the relationships between men and women. Parents build a hut for their 13 to 15-year-old children to discover love and sexuality. Children can stay in this house until their twenties before choosing the person of their heart. It is a practice that is developing less.[2]
