Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan

This’s shocking how u ppl would shamelessly accuse islam of the things that happens routinely in ur non muslim countries in my muslim country it’s a CRIM to even cat call women even asking for a woman’s number is considered illegal us muslim women feel the safest in our countries unlike the women in western and non muslim countries the statistics of sexual assault are over the roof yet u have the audacity to make these videos against islam i mean we know it’s a propaganda but unfortunately many ignorants believe it

actually inform yourself before assuming something idiotic. The horrid sexual assualt is forbiden and seen as a major sin to do with Islam because you are harming someone's well being. Disrespect to a religion because you cant tell the difference is real ignorant. I mean how can the historian be more informed about the reality than you?

[@aiperikarimova2623]

I'm from Kyrgyzstan. I am Kyrgyz. This is a very wild tradition that is disappearing because girls and women no longer want to tolerate it in our country! And I'm glad of that. They also tried to steal me, but I fought with everyone and still left. I am confident that this cruel tradition will soon disappear.

The Little Blerdmaid I bet you she wasn’t crying when they took her, a mother should always be protecting her kids at all costs no matter what culture or religion bs you deal with. She let them take her away knowing she didn’t want to, she failed as a parent in my opinion.

[@EB-wh1rn]

You’re wrong. In my country they also used to kidnap brides but nowadays they do it less because they pay a fine for that now, which most of them can not afford, although some pay it willingly. Anyways, you’re wrong about what you said about her mother, she probably didn’t think it was necessary or good for her daughter when they gave her back to the kidnapper. She says in the video, the cousins etc put pressure on them, telling the « it’s tradition ! You’re wrong you shouldn’t take her back ! ». She didn’t develop it but as it was also in my country’s tradition to kidnap brides I can tell you for sure that she didn’t want to give her daughter back but couldn’t do otherwise because she’s a woman and she has to OBEY. So when the male cousins / older men in the family got angry about them bringing their daughter back, when they scolded the girl’s dad for doing so, when they brought up « it’s tradition! » the girl’s dad probably felt ashamed in front of the elder men (cousins, uncles..) and in those societies you HAVE TO respect older men and DO what they tell you to do, the dad probably decided to give the girl back to the kidnaper and the mom couldn’t do anything about it but accept it because SHE IS A WOMAN and she CAN NOT argue with her husband and other men in the family. If she talks back or disobeys she can be beaten or anyways, the men can just bring the girl back to the kidnaper’s house forcefully even if the mother is against. Anyways, I can guarantee you that this mom wasn’t happy about giving her daughter back autherwise they wouldn’t have even brought her home in first place. She just had to accept it because she’s a woman and she can not do anything because men decide and she has to obey. No one can understand her sorrow except those who went through the same thing. That thing happened to my aunt, she was kidnapped and run away but her uncle forced her to get married to her kidnapper whom she didn’t even knew.

This so-called kidnapping is just a game. The bride and the groom already know each other and they make the plan. Different countries have different traditions. Indian brides are suppose to be shy and cry before leaving their houses for the groom's. If they don't, aunties talk behind them. I think it is similar in Kirgizstan. Brides are suppose to throw tantrum during kidnapping or aunties will gossip. That girl was also putting a show. But when the food is served, it means the show is over. Girls are just dramatic no matter where they are from.

I imagine the “kidnapping” where the presenter was witness to was consensual (in the video, the men are seen to instruct the woman how the kidnapping will unfold and that she can beat them if she likes) but she is putting up some resistance to keep the appearances I guess (so that it does not seem to be preplanned to the rest of the community). I cannot imagine the camera crew being willful participants in an actual kidnapping of a stranger as it happens in other cases, just for filming purposes.

"Because it's tradition" alone is probably the most backwards and destructive mentality anyone can have. Yes, that was done in the past. But WHY was it done, given the context of the era in which its practice began, and does that context still apply to the present day? Following the old ways without properly understanding the reasons why they are as they are is pointless unless you're a child who isn't old enough to know better yet, and does nothing but pay lip service to "honor" a time that has long since passed. It does not help you or your country move forward, it does not prove that you're better than the people that bring drugs and violence wherever they go, and it does nothing to even truly honor those traditions.

@Yunus Hailey Your tradition is cruel and evil. Every tradition is just an idea that began in the past. Once we used to put black cats in a wooden box, and smash the box and the cat because of superstition. That nonsense was repeated for hundreds of years, and it even lives on today, but the wooden box is now painted and the content is candy. Still utterly stupid. Just because an idea is old, it doesn't make it good. On the contrary, it's stupid not to take old ideas up to revision. That is how a society and a people improve themselves. That is the very reason every country - including yours - has extinct traditions in the first place. Otherwise, we would still perform some stupid nonsense going back to the stone-age, simply because "Well it's tradition".

[@Dominic_Williams_Videos]

Imagine this, all the these women were kidnapped, they got older with time... and these same older women joining the tradition and still continue doing it to young girls. They know the pain, but they still do it, even tho it happen to them too. And those young girls you saw kidnapped in the video, will eventually get old... and they will do it for their son too. Amazing!!!

[@Comebackherein2050]

I live in this country. older women think that it is necessary that this is a tradition. They do not even think it could be otherwise. The young generation of girls now does not want to be abducted. People who live in the capital are very modern especially the younger generation. in 2013 a law was passed on the illegality of the abduction. Nowadays, there are less and less abductions. But there are still people who think that this is a tradition. The girl and the boy are introduced to the parents before the wedding. If they like each other they marry. We will not be able to become such an open and tolerant country as the United States and European countries. But progress is the younger generation wants to change.

[@moongirl9893]

@@Comebackherein2050 I think a solution might the leaving of the younger generations to capital cities at a young age for example for school or work, so they can't abduct the girls. If they have finished school and got married with their consent, they can consider going back to their village. Btw I'm Turkish and our language sounds so much alike, but the culture is very different.
