Bel bibaha is a practice in the Newar community in Nepal where a girl is wed to a bael (a fruit which produce glue) before her marriage. This is done at an early age, normally around 8-16. It is believed that if the girl's husband dies later in her life, she is not considered a widow because she already has a husband that is believed to be still alive.
