Lotuko (also, Lotuka ) is an ethnic group in South Sudan . Their population exceeds 200,000. Their
traditional home is Equatoria area on Southern Sudan. They speak Otuho language , a Nilotic language .
This set of people has a very weird marriage tradition.If a guy wants to
marry a girl,he kidnaps her. After kidnapping, elderly people of his family go to girl’s father and ask for her hand. If girl’s father agrees he beats the guy as a symbol of acceptance and if he doesn’t agree, the kidnapper marries the girl
forcefully.
Now all the girls should thank God, they are not born in Lotuko.
