Documentary: Vice - Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan
Posted by Independent Thinker
According to this video, and contrary to what some of the older people in the video have said, this is apparently NOT an ancient tradition, and pretty horrible if you ask me. Getting kidnapped and forced into a marriage. Apparently in the last few years the laws have become more harsh against this terrible practice. Kyrgyzstan is another one of those ex-Soviet states that I find to be fascinating, unfortunately this will be the "introductory" video of this country on this blog. Anyway, some people may find the footage to be disturbing.
