Inside a traditional wedding ceremony in the Afghan pamir | SLICE

In the footsteps of the last Kyrgyz nomads of the Afghan Pamir, we are the witnesses of a unique event in one’s life: a wedding.
Wulluq Bu, one of the daughters of the clan, is getting married soon. She doesn't know her future husband yet, it is part of the tradition, but she is anxiously waiting to see what he is like. When she gets married, she’ll have to leave her family to live with her husband, a member of the neighboring clan. A memorable ceremony in the beautiful snowy landscapes of the himalayas.
Extract from the documentary: “Prisoners of the Afghan Pamir”
Direction: Louis Meunier
Production: Taimani Films & France Télévisions

Probably these people do not imagine, that through this record, their traditions are also admired in such unlikely places as here in the interior of Brazil.

Wonderfull. It makes me so happy that this variety of cultures still exist. Nothing is more dangerous for the evolutionary progress of mankind than the uniformity of globalism that is brought by technocracy to masses.

I find your comment gibberish.

[@alfreddaniels3817]

@@Kiki-en9vm hi Kiki. I guess you are right. My statement here is very condensed and therefore difficult to understand. I was trying to say that I love to see in this series of documentaries how much varieties of peoples with their own cultural customs still exist. I fear for the time when all mankind has melted into some global uniformity. I think that would pose a danger to our survival in the long run because evolution requires variety. Technocrats think that only the future they are working on has ultimate survival value, but that is not what evolutiontheory says. Survival comes from variety, while uniformity is a path to an eventual death. That is why life on earth has evolved in so many varieties.

Don't forget the homogeneity of Islam. Pre-600s, West and Central Asia actually had a diversity of faiths, cultures and civilizations, among them Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Manichainism, Mitraism, Yazidis, Buddhism, Hinduism, Tengrism, Shamanism, even Greek Paganism. Most of their rich art, architecture, literature, culture have disappeared and been forgotten.

For people who are making sarcastic or rude comments I would keep you're mouth zipped shut!!! Do you know why that is? Everywhere in the world people have different traditions and are proud of them. You may have ones that you do differently and are proud of and wouldn't want people saying anything about the way you do yours . If they are happy I'd say congratulations to them and wish them well and peace ✌️ be upon them. That is the way to be a humble person not talk down about someone else's ways. Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

"Nasty" comments ? Really ? I think they are now "directed" to the bottom part of the thread, for the best. I don t know if those people realise that such gardians of anciant traditions are such a precious library for thr history of mankind. As we say in my culture, masha Allah.

It’s just a different way of doing things, marriages are made in all sorts of ways. Love isn’t always enough to save a relationship and at least for this couple they have the support of both sets of in-laws. It’s not how I would do things but I wouldn’t outright dismiss it because it’s different. As long as both the bride and groom are committed to making their marriage work then hopefully love will grow in time.

This girl is too young to marry. Shameful.

[@pattyhansen7563]

nah, its a hostile region living-wise & people don't get to live as long. so might as well start young. Romeo & Juliet were only in their teens (her 13) and it wasn't that long ago that Americans married quite young. my great grandmother (marrying in late 1800s) was 15. something that is part of their culture is not seen as shameful to THEM. you are judging it through your own lens. And this is partly why western nations have some of the lowest birth rates - because they wait so DAMN LONG to get married & have kids. If you want to preserve a culture you must have kids - lots of kids that will make it to adulthood.
