EN: a superstitious belief against siblings marrying in the same year
A classic Filipino superstition that causes major family drama and logistical nightmares for wedding planners. Two siblings can't get married in the same calendar year, or else one of them will have bad luck. It’s the ultimate "pili ka, ate o ako?" showdown, courtesy of your *lola's* beliefs. "Hindi kayo pwedeng ikasal this year, **sukob** kayo ng kapatid mo!"
Often used in the phrase "sukob sa taon". The word itself refers to the taboo or the state of being under this taboo.
🇵🇭 Ayon sa matatanda, masama raw ang sukob sa kasal.
🇺🇸 According to the elders, the taboo of siblings marrying in the same year is bad.
🇵🇭 Ipinagpaliban nila ang kasal para maiwasan ang sukob.
🇺🇸 They postponed the wedding to avoid the curse/taboo.
