Strange life regulations in the world

Tokalapalli is a poor fishing village located in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. And this is also the place where there is a strange rule of the world since 7/2018, after 9 "elders" of the village conduct a meeting, rules prohibit women, girls wear nightie (pajamas Europe) during the day is in place.

Of course, it is not reasonable to wear a nightgown during the day. But putting in the rules, only Tokalapalli alone is available.

After the "village rule" was issued, everyone was forced to do so. And they have also taken it seriously. To date, Tokalapalli has not had any penalties.

Prohibiting wearing nightgowns is also because . women's rights

"It will be fine if they wear nightgowns indoors, but if they go out and still eat like that, it can collect butterflies that suck butterflies, causing trouble for the wearers themselves" - Balle Vishnu Murthy, the chief of Tokalapalli explained. .

The problem is that for years, spacious, comfortable pajamas have become the favorite outfit for millions of Indian women, especially housewives throughout the city, even in the more remote villages.

Some villagers also said that they did not agree with this regulation. But because the fine is quite high, they have to bite their teeth.

Not the first "ban"

Earlier, in 2014, a village near Mumbai also " banned " the ban, threatening a fine of 500 rupees for those who violated it. However, it was soon flattened, because the sister's wing there strongly protested.

In fact, European-style sleepwear in India is not a fashionable outfit. And it has also been modified to match the culture of this place, ensuring "covering the whole body". Compared to traditional Indian women sari , nightgowns are worse, but simpler and more suitable to wear while doing housework.

Traditional Sari of Indians is very beautiful, but quite picky and entangled.

By the 1990s, nightgowns were prevalent throughout Delhi. People even wear it while trading vegetables on the road. Vasudev thought that it was the nightgown that created a revolution, freeing Indian women from sari's imprisonment.

"It is impossible to say that this convenient outfit is sexy or sexy" - she asserted.

"Whether it is obscene or not is the eye of the person who looks" - Abraham agreed. He was so frustrated that criticizing the ban on wearing pajamas was "completely absurd". "Have you ever heard of a village meeting to decide how men should dress? It is always difficult for women to do it all the time."

But no matter what, Tokalapalli still forbids women to wear nightgowns during the day, and that ban is because of their moral and safety reasons.
