I just find out about this very weird relationship between in-laws and their kids in the Congo. There is a tribe in the Congo called luba where in-laws have limitation of when to visit their kids. For example: When a couple gets married both pair of parents have limitation to visit their kids especially the girl's parents. The girls parents can go visit the couple but they cannot spend the night in the same house as the couple (their kids), they cannot shower in the same shower as their daughter's husband. Pretty much they can only visit without spending the night even if they came from out of town. In the event that the girl's parents spend the night over, then the married couple cannot have any type of intimacy that night, sometimes they can't even spend the night in the same bedroom. I just find this to be very weird so i made a couple of phone calls to have someone from this tribe explain a little more about this but it still didn't make sense to me.
