Groups of men may go from house to house to whip the young women in which case it is customary for the woman to offer the men food and or a drink after her thrashing. Women may be whipped on the streets, Some women like to run away to give the men some sport catching them. Women may feel offended if they are not whipped and many women will beg the men to whip them. Although the intention is not to cause pain, girls do end up with a sore bum.

This is defintely a custom that should be incorporated into worldwide Eastern celebrations.
