The Lhoba People live in the area neighboring the Moinba People. But the Lhoba's altitude towards the marriage is quite different from that of the Moinba, because the teenagers can not freely decide their own love affairs and marriage, but instead, they shall leave these to their parents. The Lhoba people live on hunting, which has specific influence on the wedding procedures. Since we have observed the overall process of the wedding of the Lhoba people in the Boikar tribe, we can sum up their unique marriage customs: that is, the chicken killing ceremony is the main thread going through all steps.
During the wedding, the new couple will kill chickens on three occasions. On the first occasion, they will kill two chickens hung on the over beam of the doorframe of the groom's house, and then take out the livers and give them to a Lhoba wizard, who will lick the liver, while taking a look at it. He repeats the actions several times in order to predict the couple's fortune and life-spans in future. On the second occasion, they will kill chickens hung on a bamboo rack supported by eight bamboo poles, and again take out the livers for the wizard, who will predict the gender-order and number of the children the couple will have. On the third occasion, they will kill two in the groom's home. Then a lady, who should be a mother of at least a daughter and a son, guides the newlywed to kill the chicken at the backyard. A bit difference this time is that they should kill a pig before killing the chicken. Hence, the wedding is a big mess with the animals roaring, which may make the strangers quite confused. But do not be worried, this is just their way to highlight the wedding. In fact just before opening the wedding. In fact just before opening the wedding, they even do something weirder: the delegates of the two sides severely fight against each other. This is just their way of expressing warm welcoming to the guests of the wedding.
