This document summarizes the traditional rituals performed when a man's wife passes away in Lesotho. It describes how the wife would be dressed in the traditional mourning clothes of a widow. The family would then notify the community and hold a ceremony where the man is given a new set of clothes by his in-laws, symbolizing that he is now ready to remarry. The ceremony involves slaughtering a cow provided by the family and sharing its meat with the community to mark the end of the mourning period.
