Brazilian councillor proposes law demanding brides wear underwear when they marry

QuoteA Brazilian councillor has proposed a law to force brides to wear knickers at the altar.

Ozias Zizi claims that a growing number of women in his south-eastern town of Vila Velha are turning up to church with nothing on underneath their wedding dresses.

The superstitious brides believe it will make their marriages last longer, he explained...


Any volunteers for the position of underwear inspector?  :o

And on second thoughts; how the hell did he find out? Mirror tiles?

I don't know if there is any sort of supernatural force is at play in the whole idea of no panties = longer lasting marriage, but I have to say that I've heard worse ideas for ensuring matrimonial bliss.... ;D

That thin strip of cloth is all that separates those poor women from the torment of eternal damnation, obvs.

Wow. Just wow.
Why exactly would this ever been a concern/issue?
I love how marriage seems to do all it can to control women. Then again, this is Brazel. Don't they have a giant jeebus statue or is that somewhere else? :/

Fuck knows! What's he going to do? Upend them at the alter before he carries out the service!

Jeez you guys have got no sense of empathy at all.
This guy has to watch brides coming down the isle and wonder if they are or aren't sans pants.
She might, she mightn't, seems to be moving like she isn't.
If he drops his pen and polishes his jacket he may be able to accidentally slide under and check.
Perhaps if he suggests brides are so pure, we should elevate them in our thoughts, and put them on a raised rostrum like a gold medal winner.  No one could object to that.

He wants to check that they all have respect for their Brazilian, of course.
