What were the reasons a Charivari/Chivaree would be conducted?
From my general browsing, a few reasons include
•Socially unaccepted marriages
•Adulterers
•Wife-beaters
•and... male victims of domestic violence?
•and also... male victims of adultery?
I can easily see peasants banding together to name and shame the first three, but would a man's neighbors really stage an entire parade to rub salt in his wound after his wife went astray?
