On March 27, 2022, in Hua Phai commune, Mueang district, Ang Thong province, Thailand, many villagers invited each other to attend a special wedding. It was a marriage between groom Matt and bride Nong Mai, both of whom were only 5 years old. What’s even more surprising is that baby Matt and baby Nong Mai are twins. The parents of the two brothers, Tuan Chitkan Chitwangron, 35, and Ibu Nawarat Marongsi, 36, organized the wedding.
It’s hard to believe that two 5 year olds are already married, but the fact that two twins are married is even more absurd. However, in Thailand, this is not uncommon. In fact, this is only a marriage for spiritual ritual purposes, not legally binding. After that, his two children still lead normal lives and get married like everyone else.
As it turned out, this wedding was held according to ancient Thai beliefs. They believe that if the twins are a boy and a girl, then they are lovers from the previous life, because they can’t be together, they are reincarnated as twins in this life.
Therefore, a family with two children, one boy and one girl, will get married to bless the two children. They believe that if they don’t, the two children will become seriously ill and will not be able to live happily for the rest of their lives because of the bad luck that has stuck to them from their previous life.
That day, Mr. Samran Jankajon, Chairman of the Hua Phai District Administration Organization, was also invited to attend and officiate at the wedding. The wedding was also attended by grandparents, relatives on both sides of the family, friends and many villagers.
Mr. and Mrs. Chitkan Chitwangron and Mrs. Nawarat Marongsi also invited 9 monks to chant and read Buddhist scriptures to bless the marriage of their 2 children. On the wedding day, the bride Nong Mai and the groom Matt were very happy and excited. While baby Nong Mai was constantly laughing and joking with everyone, little boy Matt was still innocent, engrossed in watching his phone. Both of them also wore traditional wedding clothes, performing rituals like a normal wedding with the help of grandparents and parents. Everyone who attended the wedding praised Nong Mai and Matt for being so cute and pretty.
Previously, there have been many similar weddings held in Thailand and received various opinions from the online community. Some netizens consider this as a matter of course, only the religious beliefs of indigenous peoples. However, there are also people who believe that this is a habit that must be eliminated immediately because it is too unreasonable and can affect the future of the child.
