Eventually the family of one of the five men thought their son bought a thing and said to him, whatever you have bought you must share. They did not know it was a woman. When he said it was not for sharing, his parents got angry and said anything is for sharing in an honest house sharing is a must and if not it is over my dead body!

The parents were shocked to see their son bought a woman, and understood they were wrong. Still they said to keep the promise in fear of the angel of death, the angel of Jamraah.

wrong it is, but

these stories are twisted and each time transformed as 1001 nights, always different.
Your knowledge of Indian mythology is good.
