"This is not cultural tradition. This is violation of human rights."

[@ashtonhashbrown6155]

Imagine an american tourist who looks asian just gets kidnapped because of this "tradition."

[@incelkeys6630]

that is not like that. most of bridenappings are planned by both bride and groom. no one bridenapping anyone without knowing.

@@incelkeys6630 why there are lots of girls committed suicide in krygs

[@wickedtorpedo75]

As a native kyrgyz, I must say that the kidnapper knows the victim very well, unlike the victim of his kidnapper. And in general, kygryzs little nazi nation, they don’t even steal girls from other nationalities, although there are a lot of them in my country, the Kyrgyz make up 70% of the population of Kyrgyzstan. This means that tourists will never be kidnapped, and this has never happened before in the entire existence of Kyrgyzstan. For tourists, kyrgyzstan is as safe a country as the countries of northern europe.

to be very honest. these kinda things broke my heart and after watching this condition i hate the world

[@shafeeqahsmith6999]

I wonder what is it about the word "No" that sets men off to do stupid crap like this?

[@yousra.palani]

I saw another video the girl was kidnapped and after a hours agreed to marry the man by not removing the scarf/veil his family put on her head to see if she agrees. One even said if a man propose the girl will say no even if she wants to become if she says yes they will think she is desperate so a no is an innocent yes? Even the girls friend helped the men to kidnapp them both like they wanted to be kidnapped. It's disturbing how this exists and makes those who doesn't want to get kidnapped in dangerous situations

Anything that it is against your will is denying you of your human rights this woman deserve more they deserve freedom to choose who to be with and who to love

[@tifa4034]

How can they tell the married women from the unmarried women? What if you kidnap a young woman who was recently married?

[@abdykalykovazhibek1587]

They ask around about her first

[@aidakalybaeva758]

It usually happens in villages where everybody knows each other

[@cowrymoo9785]

this just breaks my heart :c

[@yahooo949]

The term kidnapped seems right in this situation. These girls shouldn't be sold off at such a young age just because they are young and vulnerable and are not able to fight back the 'tradition'. I hope the situation settles and no more females have to suffer there.

[@sanjidaahmed7981]

May Allah punish the kidnappers.. This is pure human rights violation!

[@TheLatiosnlatias02]

Amin.

You GO Woman Warrior! I’m praying for you 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏽🔎❤️🔥🕊🌏

How about you start finding the truth about Tibet and Xīnjiāng? And no Uighur bullshit! Rushan Abbas and Adrien Zenz are shit heads who deserve to be arrested.

[@chicken7002]

It's nice to see there are still people in this country who fight this savage behavior from locals.

[@magmartin9726]

Is it all right for a man of god to lie the way that imam did? Wow...! I am sure they have the right authority to do and say something to stop this barbaric tradition but I guess you are on your own. No help from them either...!

[@530MAIDU]

Men according to the Holy Scriptures ...WILL NOT ENTER ...Heaven for their eternal life. This is a horrible crime! 🙇🏻‍♀️🔎🙏🏽❤️🔥🕊🌏

[@christopherdorsey6337]

it's like forcing someone to like you without any remorse whatsoever!, and they call this traditional?, it is a violation of human rights!, they can get arrested and put in prison for this violation!

[@elizabethmonieno6363]

very bad !

[@shafeeqahsmith6999]

Keep up the good fight, sister warrior!

[@mukhatarpatel7680]

It is against human right..

[@janyldjusupova5094]

What the heck is even that! I’m from Kyrgyzstan and this tradition is already no longer exists in my country so it’s illegal to do that. Stop spreading fake information! Do some research, then publish it on the internet! 🙄😬😠😤

[@kolibambangg]

The video stated that this crime often happened in rural areas. And it was published on 2017 so yeah.

[@mrcasful]

Then why many women commit suicide in your country then?

[@GadisBaliLivesAbroad]

You are probably the one who needs to do more research of your own country. No country is perfect. What happens in rural areas mostly doesn't happen in big cities.

[@RAralar]

Ok this is why they need Matchmakers. You know. Alot of these marriages work out in the end. And you dont have all the annoying dating experiences.

[@mina829ag]

wtf... that's so old fashioned man. Who doesn't want to date and get to know their partner? Who tf wants to get married and skip that?

fredocorleone For such outrage which they mislabel as "tradtion"? I say may Allah inshall punish the kidnappers, the families of the kidnappers and the victims.

[@elaineweddle7267]

I think is a great practice! As long as the woman agrees.

[@asramezz]

No it's not it's very disgusting...

[@mrsreal5665]

Aeh no... many of them dont want to agree. They accept bcz the fear of the shame for their family
