Mainland social media is up in arms over a violent wedding hazing in China in which a bride was pinned to the ground and piled upon by a group of men before having foam sprayed all over her face.
The degrading scenes were played out at nuptials on January 19 in Linyi, in the eastern Chinese province of Shandong.
Video footage of the event shows a group of burly men pinning a bride in a red traditional wedding gown to the ground and spraying white foam all over her hair.
The wedding took place in a rural compound at which a red carpet was laid out in a courtyard. Guests gathered in the yard to watch.
A group of men forced the bride to the ground, then several of them climbed on top of her to form a human pyramid. One guest tried to stop them, but the men just laughed off the attempt at restraint.
