Dani tribe in Papua Guinea
At marriage, a man must cut off the finger of his right hand and present it to the bride as a dowry for her
And if he wants to divorce her, he cuts off two fingers of his left hand, but if he dies, his wife cuts off the ten fingers of her hand as a sign of her fidelity to him and that she will not marry a man after him.
Whether you marry, divorce or die... there are fingers that must be cut off.
Fingering is in danger

"A lot of backwards things still happening in Papua New Guinea  "
I hesitate to describe other humans as backward.
Papua New Guinea does have a history of cannibalism in some tribal people too. Brains especially.
