            Anthropologist Marvin Harris said,

“Rites of passage celebrate the social movement

of individuals into and out of groups or into or out

of statuses of critical importance to the individual

and to the community. Reproduction, the achievement

of manhood and womanhood, marriage, and death

are the principal worldwide occasions for rites of passage.”
