Stranger Proposes to 17 Year Old at Her Birthday | React Couch TLC

[@kimismith18]

Most gypsy girls don't finish high school, let alone college. It's a part of their culture. Its awesome that she's standing up for herself.

[@Dirty_bubs]

I agree that's really cool. What do you mean by its part of their culture to not finish school? Is it one of those "girls shouldn't have an education"/"find a man to take care of you" things? Or am i totally culturally inept?X)

[@crypticcorgi8280]

Saying this as a Gypsy. Most Gypsies sadly do not. (Including the men.) It's a bit different here in The States and Canada. (Where we actually got opportunities.) But for most parts, no one is willing to hire Gyspies anyways. So parents feel it is counter productive to get schooling if it leads to no where. That it is better to have them get out there helping to survive. Sadly it keeps most European Gypsies in a self fulfilling cycle.

That's basically Gypsy culture for you. If you've ever seen more of the TLC show, a lot of the episodes center around getting the girls ready for their Sweet 16 so she can meet her future husband, drop out of school, get married, have babies, and be a permanent housewife. And all the suitors are the girl's male 20-something year old cousins, because "they have been approved by the Gypsy elders". IMO, the moms behave this way about arranged marriages like this because it's all they know. And a Gypsy woman isn't allowed to socialize with anyone outside of her immediate family under any circumstances to keep her "pure for her husband". However, once a Gypsy woman gets married, she can socialize with other married women within the family she married into. So in a way, that's the only support network Gypsy women are allowed to have. It's really depressing, knowing that this is still common practice in certain communities

When she becomes a nurse I hope she doesn’t financially help her self-centered mom and cut ties, her mom clearly did that for her own benefit. People like her mom just don’t change and she’s better not surrounding herself with that negativity.

A friend of mine is Romanian. She moved to the US at age 7. When she was 24 she went back to Romania to visit family. Her aunts locked her in a room with a random creepy guy and his dad. He brought a "watermelon of love" and was told that they would be married. Her aunts told her she should take what she gets because she is too old for a typical bride. She has not returned to Romania lol.

[@MaliceinDix]

Is she Romani(gypsy)? Because regular Romanians are... nothing like that- coming from a Romanian who was born and raised there for 20+ years. Given how a lot of foreigners seem to make rather strange associations and assumptions, I sort of want to get this out of the way: gypsies/Romani are but a minority in our country, with their own identity and customs.

Different cultures. I knew an Indian girl that had an arraigned marriage. She met him once before they were engaged. Maybe 2 or 3 times before married. I didn't understand it at first, to me she had too much going for her, but she has a family and still seems happy years later. I'm glad that this girl knew it wasn't for her, and was strong enough to stand up from herself though.

[@natto-umeboshi-onigiri7603]

That's simple psychology. When they would admit how messed up this way of living and pressuring kids into marriage is, they would also admit that their own path wasn't their choice, but merely brainwashing. So they have no other choice but to continue the tradition if they don't want to be thrown into a big crisis.

As a Gypsy, I hate these shows. Btw pro tip, if they constantly have to reinforce that they are Gypsy. Then there is a 80% chance they are not Gyspy. Usually they are some hick with 1.5% Gypsy/Roma in them they are told and they lean into it. They do this with Native Americans too. EDIT: They said Romanichal. Sadly they are are Gypsy and from my clan. FML My clan does not even do arranged marriages. The mother is just crazy.
