RE: Sworn Virgins

in #culture8 years ago

The Wikipedia information is correct; Islam is religion number one followed by Catholicism and then Orthodoxy in Albania. Kanun however was completely secular, and at the time it was drafted and started to be implemented, it sort of acted as a primitive constitution - a customary law - and stood above all faiths - also because the country in a way or another has never been really religious anyway.

Sort:  

So whose idea was the whole Sworn Virgins thing? Was that an already existing folk tradition, or the idiosyncratic brainchild of some particular ruler / bureaucrat?
