In a rural or countryside areas of Turkey, you may find an empty bottle place on a roof of a house. It’s an old tradition in Turkey, where fathers purposely placed an empty bottle on his house roof. This indicates that the daughter of the house is ready to get married, and whoever the man take the empty bottle has the right to proposed her. If both sides come to an agreement, then marriage would be arranged between two families in a quite short time. However, this tradition is not as strong as it was.
