The Mursi tribe are an African tribe from the isolated Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia near the border with Sudan. There are an estimated 10,000 members of this beautiful, sedentary tribe, body and face decorations are a source of endless fascination. Long may they, and their wonderful culture live on.
How do we spot girls around us are getting into their childbearing age? We actually don’t. This is why there are so many cases of guys being sued for sex with girls underage. Once, all girls start looking older than they actually are, especially with those overly sexualizing outfits that are so popular nowadays. This is why guys are getting into troubles trying to find their partners for life or one night stand. Here is where we start envying Mursi.
These guys have invented their own way of detecting who is who in the tribe. Every girl has to come through a ritual as soon as she reaches her procreative age (usually 15-16 years). Older family member (mom or another older woman of the tribe) takes her away to cut her lower lip apart. Sometimes this procedure is done to both lips. The cut is held open by a wooden plug until the wound heals. If you saw those insanely popular gauged ears – you should now realize that is not the worst place for plates. Mursi girls receive plates in their lips to demonstrate they are ready for marriage and childbirth. And it is up to a girl to decide how far she wants to stretch it. Mostly, girls don’t stop until their lips can take plates of 12 centimeters or more in diameter.
