When Sotho people are about to get married, a traditional process called "mokhoro" takes place, where the groom's family formally approaches the bride's family to seek permission for the union. This often involves negotiations regarding the bride price, known as "lobola," which is paid by the groom's family to the bride's family as a sign of respect and commitment. Pre-marital rituals and celebrations may also occur, including traditional ceremonies and gatherings to honor both families. The couple may also participate in counseling sessions to prepare for married life.

The country was established as a distinct entity in the 19th century under King Moshoeshoe I, who sought to unify various Sotho-speaking groups.
