Detailed Explanation

The text states: 'You will note that the final test of the Fulani marriage is chastity before marriage. On the first night of the marriage, a white sheet would be spread on the bed. If it is stained with blood, the bride and her family would be highly respected, for that implies that the lady was not defiled before marriage.'
