Often the brides are ragged in grooms house and the grooms are ragged by the brides house members.So it was common.But now its in new form and so they gave it a name as marriage ragging.

We all know about school and college ragging. But there is a new trend known as ‘Marriage ragging’ which was started first in Kannur but spread to neighboring districts Kozhikodu, Kasargod, Malappuram and Thrissur.

The grooms have always been ragged in one form or the other. The brides' sisters (Salees) enthusiastically rag the groom. One very popular way is hide the shoes, which are returned only on paying cash. Another way in Punjabi weddings is to ask the groom to recite chhands (Punjabi short two line poems). I also saw the shoe hiding scene in a movie.
