Is this true? Never heard this before!

“Well, the joke is on us. I belong to this curious breed called Bengalis (residents of eastern part of India) and we are forbidden from having sex on our wedding night. In fact, we can’t even have sex the next night, which is called “Kaal Ratri”, which roughly translate to Doomed Night. It’s only on the third night that we’re allowed to finally share a bed but it’s awful sex because the bed is decked out in foul-smelling tuberoses, which don’t preserve well in our humid weather.” – Samhita –http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/31/wedding-night-sex-readers_n_3354840.html
