What is done to ropes after hanging?
Kathmandu. News of the execution of Shabnam Salim, who killed seven members of his own family in Amroha, India, has recently spread across the country. Meanwhile, there is a lot of talk about other things. What is done with the rope used to execute the criminal? Most of the time, such ropes are burned after the execution, but there are many kinds of superstitions worldwide.
The practice of hanging began in the 10th century. At the same time, superstition about the rope used for hanging has also come into vogue.
In fact, after being hanged in Britain, the rope was burned. Then, the superstition spread among the people that if someone kept that piece of rope at home or made a garland and wore it in the valley, it could reverse the fate.
History also mentions that in Britain, criminals cut and sold these ropes and people happily bought them. However, in 1965, hanging was banned in Britain.
