| 520 | |a "The battle between scientific temper and superstition has raged since ages. One may believe that unusual rituals and customs are extinct in the times of artificial intelligence and bots, but it is far from the truth as this book will prove. As bizarre as it might seem, in France one can marry a dead person, and in Africa a married woman can marry another married woman as a practical way of solving the social problem of old-age neglect.

It should be read to build awareness about these rituals and to know about the many shades of faith in this world we inhabit"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
