Very famous magahi boliyan ::-

1.Bhojpur ke Bhoj raja,thug biyahe jaye re;
  toke jame moko thuge,kab gauna kareye re !

The meaning of this lokokti is very deep rooted.You must be aware that during 18th & 19th centuries,the bhojpuri thugs were very notorious n famous for their craft,specially in Benaras region.So when a family seeked a marriage in Bhojpur belt,it is advised to pay extra attention.
It is said that the thugs will say that they are very rich, and the marriage will be fixed.After every gift or dowry is paid;they simply vanish for good.And the girl's parents keep waiting for them for the second marriage of their daughter.In Bihar and Eastern UP brides are not sent to their in-laws house at the time of marriage ,but after second marriage or "Gauna" is held.
