Well, it is believed that a child is raised by the entire village, not just by the parents. It does not matter if the child was raised outside the state or even the country.
So when the lady would be getting married, she would be going to join another village or community, and it is believed that the elders of her biological community have to be aware as well.
I do not know why they made this, but it is what it is.
Thank you for sharing.
