"...the groom could not show blood spots on the sheets to the feasting family."

is it just me, or is this possible "tradition" a little much?

that is avoiding the disgusting factor.

"honey, pass the salt, and may i examine the blood spots?"

Only slightly less distasteful then the old custom of hanging the bridal sheet from the front window.

And truth be told some virgins do not bleed.
