- W2336695565 abstract "abstract Ritual advice (‘go laya’ in Setswana) is perhaps the most important aspect of the wedding process in traditional marriages in Botswana. Before a bride is presented to her in-laws, her married female relatives take turns to ‘advise’ her how to be a good wife. A woman who has not undergone this ritual advice is not considered a real woman/wife. Recently, the groom has also been subjected to the advice process. However, there are differences in the content of the advice ceremony for brides and grooms. In this focus I examine this ritual advice of brides and grooms in traditional Tswana weddings, and how it may impact on power relations between spouses within marriage. Using critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2003; Wodak & Meyer, 2001) I explore the idea of a marital “fool” (so expressed in one of the ceremonies studied) in order to show how, in the advice ceremonies, brides are groomed to be subservient and not to question their spouses’ behaviours, some of which may be detrimental to their welfare. Grooms, on the other hand, are groomed to be providers and protectors, as well as not to batter their spouses. Although superficially the advice ceremonies are meant to foster a harmonious relationship between husbands and wives and to ensure safety in the home, I argue that the discourse of the advice rendered to both is insidious in that it constructs brides and grooms as unequal and may achieve the opposite of what was intended. The focus selectively draws its data from three wedding ceremonies (advice ceremonies), eight wedding songs and 20 interviews on various aspects of Tswana weddings, including the advice ceremony." @default.
