On the arrival of the marriage procession the bridegroom touches with a dagger a grass mat hung in front of the marriage-shed.

During the marriage the bridegroom's father presents him with a grass ring, which he places on his wrist.

The hands of the bridegroom and bride are tied one over the other with a piece of thread, and the bride's parents catching the hands say to the bridegroom, 'We have given you our daughter; protect her.' The couple then walk seven times round a sacrificial fire and a pestle and slab containing seven pieces of turmeric, nuts and heaps of coloured rice, the bride leading and kicking over a heap of rice from the slab at each turn.

The other common ceremonies are also performed.

The Bargahs do not tolerate sexual offences and expel a girl or married woman who goes wrong.
