They write that the origin of the word charivari probably comes from Vulgar Latin *caribaria, plural of caribarium, already referring to the habit of rattling kitchen utensils with an iron rod, or perhaps from Greek καρηβαρία (karēbaría), literally "heaviness in head". " but is also used to mean "headache", from κάρα "head, head" and βαρις "heavy" is a Western collective rite, very similar to carnival.
The law whose memory is transmitted to us by Plato (Plato, in legib lib.XVIII, dial 8) shows that the charivari was originally a deed by which someone declared that he enjoyed the right of ownership over a herd of fugitives. (reference: Mémoire de la Société Royale Académie de Savoie, first series volume VI, page 214: From bees to old men by M. le Général comte de Loche).

Charivari is a symbolic process of members of a village community, a manifestation characterized by moral and sometimes physical violence aimed at sanctioning people who have violated moral values or traditions, the canon of a community of people.
The term defines a parade with noises caused by the participating people who make noise with objects of all kinds, generally with kitchen utensils, or with ritual tools such as knocking stones, or even the use of drums, or even noise accompanied by commotion, disorder intentionally caused by the participants.
The ritual is attested from the fourteenth century.
Charivari (Karivari) was celebrated on the occasion of a marriage that was considered inappropriate, this is especially the case of the marriage of an old man with a young girl, or a remarriage, especially when a widower or widow remarried very soon after the death of the to the first husband.
The person who had violated the moral code of the village was forced to "lead the donkey": spouses had to ride a donkey, the wife in the right direction, the husband upside down, facing the back and holding the animal's tail. This should happen at the time of the carnival, in front of the crowd that shouted, made noise and mocked the person who violated the moral code of the community.
THE TRUE ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD *KARIVARI
If you lower someone's head, you make him hang his head, you shame him.
(It is clearly understood that the middle form of the Albanian language is of great importance in the etymology of the word, but also the main obstacle for foreign linguists to understand the etymology from the first language. Their languages do not have this form.
When the subject performs and receives the action expressed by the verb, the verb is in the middle voice. The subject is kry and the verb is var. Only Albanian, Bengali, Fula, Tamil, Sanskrit, Icelandic, Swedish, and Old Greek have a middle voice, which is a set of inflections or constructions that is distinct from the active and passive voice.)
Randë, Barrë, Var and Varr respectively "heavy, burden, hang and grave" have different meanings in modern Albanian, but semantically their sources are related (and related with English words as well). Linguists have translated and inserted many meanings into these words because they do not know the first origin of the word.
The origin of the word comes from Albanian "kre varur", head hanging, ashamed.
How did they get this word?
I think it is not possible that it came from people who had knowledge of Plato's books. On the contrary, Plato wrote words of the protoAlbanian language.
I think it is an ancient word, from the first language spoken by Europeans, the protoAlbanian language, which was still in use as a spoken word in the 14th century, preserved in the spoken language from generation to generation.
But, to understand this, you must know the Albanian language very well.
The interiority and depth of the meaning of the words *var/hang and *kry/head give the etymology of the word *Karivari, or *Kryevar/headhang, and thus the condemned person stays also physically upside down over the donkey.

This is clear for an Albanian speaker, but very difficult for a foreign linguist to understand.
