Shoe Stealing, India

This is a tradition known as Joota Chupai, or Joota Chori. Joota is the name of the embroidered footwear grooms wear to the wedding. As the groom makes his way to the Mandap (the ceremonial structure where the wedding takes place), it is customary for him to take off his shoes. His female relatives then steal it, and the groom has to pay to get them back.
