What is the What (Chapter 23 to 24)

You know what's really great about this book. Learning about the culture in Sudan. For one thing, the custom that on the night that a married man and woman plan to become intimate, three woman family members set the whiteset sheets down. After the man and wife have finished they take the sheet to show that the woman has bled this being her first time. Things are different here. I've never even heard of that being done in America. Also, the fact that when a girl recieves her period it means that she is officially a woman, which makes her officially on the market. In America you must wait til you at least 18 before you can get married. Its amazing how things are different in different places.
