A court in China's Henan province has ordered a wedding party to pay approximately US$34,000 in damages after a bridesmaid suffered a severe spinal injury due to a hazing ritual. The incident occurred on October 4, 2023, when the 20-year-old bridesmaid, surnamed Zhang, was subjected to a prank that resulted in a fractured vertebra and permanent disability. The court's verdict, released in early July, aims to highlight the dangers of traditional wedding revelry known as 'hun nao,' which has increasingly drawn criticism for devolving into humiliation and violence.
