Traditional Marriage Dressing
The Zulu women are known to dress according to their marital status. For an eligible single woman, it is the norm to flaunt her body and breast to indicate her availability. In doing so, they wear skirts made out of grass or beaded cotton strings. This, however, isn’t the case with a married woman.
A married woman in the Zululand will cover her body as an indication to others that she is unavailable.
