In 2012, Dailymail reported that topless virgins were paraded in front of the Swazi King, to celebrate chastity and unity.

Now, photos have been released showing under aged girls being publicly checked to ascertain that their virginity was still intact.

All this was done in a bid to help King Mswati choose a wife.

Many consider this babaric and backward but it seems to be a tradition the people willingly live by.
