Documentary - The Truth about Bulgaria's Bride Markets

[@technomewmew]

It doesn't look like the girls are bothered by this. They look like they enjoy getting dressed up and meeting men and are excited about getting husbands. Even though I'm from the US, and I, as a woman, enjoy the freedoms we have here, if the girls there are happy, I don't think I have the right to judge their culture.

[@raynakn]

This is not Bulgarian culture for sure. Bulgarian women will never be happy about such things! These are gypsies.

[@minoucaramella5840]

When it's part of your culture you often don't question what is right or suitable you just assume that this is how things should be. most of the gypsies are not educated.

The gypsy / Roma people are descendent from a region in India. A few centuries ago they started travelling west. They settled in many countries around Europe and the rest of the world, but they don't mix or integrate with the local population, they keep within their own communities and preserve their own traditions and ethnicity. They don't follow the laws of the country they live in either. They are separate from the rest of society.

[@adamben-shimon7513]

The most of the comments on here are pure stupidity. We can't judge another group's culture based on our culture's values. Obviously the bride market works for these people or else they would not allow it. The women get to choose their husbands. It may not look like they do, but they do. They just don't get sold to the highest bidder. If the man the bids the highest does not meet the girl's standard's, she does not marry him. The bride market has helped their small community to continue on instead of vanishing. There are only 18K of Roma of this particular clan in Bulgaria.

[@joetookmyvideo]

What is devalued is that females with no self respect would criticize a society that values the greatest respect for females , to the point that they would try to preserve them for the sake of a stable family.

[@BadfingerFan]

Here in the United States, American people are often devalued. Television, music and internet deliver such high doses of immorality, that Americans do not even have a chance of making an informed decision about their own chastity. In fact, virgins are sometimes made fun of in the United States--Pretty sad indeed. As an American it saddens me that US colleges serve alcohol on campus, professors are free to date students and immortality is taught as normal. Americans judge each other based on economic status especially. American men and women select their marriage mates often based on economic backgrounds--not love. If a man does not have enough money or earning potential and a woman is very pretty, chances are, she would never date him--Pretty sad. I love the fact that in the video, the people are at least trying to preserve their culture, where as here in America, the traditional American culture and even religion are practically shunned upon. ...but Americans were taught that this is right, so it must be right.

[@archangele1]

I constantly hear people condemning this but all I see are people enjoying them selves. The young women all have big smiles on their faces and are talking with each other, laughing and having a good time. Contrast that with any liberal gathering of people and women in the USA where all you see are angry faces. I'll admit that the idea of marrying only into one's small gene pool seems a bit dangerous to me. Also, it would be cool if these girls could, if the opportunity arose, marry outside the Roma race. Some actually do break away and marry outsiders. The big thing that would really bother and scare me is if they allowed outsider men into this. I envision a bunch of old American men there bidding on what amounts to young girls. That would really be sick and should NEVER happen. So it should be limited to just the Roma. I still remember older American men jerking around in the Ukraine on these sick dating holidays fooling around with girls half their age. Not cool.

[@KarrieDreammind5]

They don't give their girls to old men. This is just between young people liking each other. As far as I understand it, it's not very different to everyone else, it's just the whole money as a gift thing that confuses the rest of us and makes us think of 'selling the bride' when in reality the money is pretty much the same as when the rest of us give gifts to a newly wed couple at their wedding. Other than that these young people meet in a fun and natural environment which to be honest looks nicer to me than dating apps and the internet.

[@archangele1]

@@KarrieDreammind5 I think that it is cool. Actually logical in that the monetary thing from a man to the women's family is a sort of way to prove that the man has and can get the means to take care of a wife and as time goes on, a family. I just worried because one girl worried about being married off to an older man in a documentary I once saw on the bride market in Stara Zagora. Bottom line. It is their culture, custom and part of their heritage and I for one respect it. I also in many ways see it as having advantages over our western culture. I would be curious to see the number of unwed mothers in this Bulgarian Roma population as compared to what we find in the USA. I'm betting it is far far higher in the USA.

The idea of a so called 'bride market' could/would be a kinda funny 'new' type of blind dating for peoples in the 'western market'. :D Just 'delate' the part parent where around too, place it on an open 'festival' ground with maybe some foodtruck, music and such kind of stuff and to take part in you buy a ticket (maybe 3 different price categories, on hightes food is inclusive to price ect.) like a normal festival. Would be kinda nice in my oppinion even at first it may sounds 'weired'. But 'everyone' taking part in there would know why the others are there too. All would be single and in serch of a 'partner' by meeting new peoples even seeing them for the first time.^^ By the way it's maybe another trying to fight against the demografic problem western europe has by downfall in marriages and births over the last decades. :) Hmm... maybe that idea isn't so bad at all like I though i first place... :D (to be clear: I had the idea FIRST, patent is on it's way ;P, seeing a similar type of even I'll send lots and lots of lawyers to the initiators, ok... :] )

What is a "lev"? Trying to sort out what guys are paying. It seems that there are few to no western European, American or older men. Are they simply marrying within their own ethnic group?

[@NestleBG]

1 Bulgarian lev is equal to about 0.50 euros or $0.50. It's not an open bride market as such. As mentioned in the video, the Kalaidzhi (Roma sub-group) strictly marry only within their ethnic group and wouldn't exchange brides with other roma clans or ethnic groups.

[@fufsayd]

i wonder for a very long since i was a kid, what religion is a gypsy?

[@NestleBG]

Their religion varies greatly according to the region they inhabit. In Bulgaria, the majority identify as orthodox Christians, with a large number also identifying themselves as muslim (mostly so-called "turkish gypsies," which identify as turks, or those inhabiting areas with a large Islamic population.) There has also been a growing number of evangelical Christians. However, the majority are not religious.
