It is peculiar to African societies - a devout Catholic
Dennis said:
"To my knowledge, I don’t think the Catholic Church has any stand up on that. The Catholic Church is universal in its church traditions, teachings and doctrines. The cultural tradition of barbing of a widow’s hair to my knowledge, is peculiar to most African societies and not the world as a whole."
