Video of a Screaming Abducted Girl Dragged off to Arranged Husband’s Home

A very disturbing footage of a Kazakh woman apparently being kidnapped and dragged into the house of her future husband has surfaced online.


The disturbing clip, filmed on a mobile phone and titled Stealing The Bride, shows the screaming girl being dragged out from a car and forced to enter the house of the man who wants to marry her. Very painful to watch really.

According to reports, the video depicts an ancient tradition still practiced in several countries in central Asia, Africa and South America, according to which future brides are abducted by friends of
the husband-to-be. During the kidnapping, women cry and beg to be released and when they reach the house of the men who want to marry them, they are pressurized to accept the marriage and celebrate with the new family. This latest video has been rounded on by critics who say the practice must stop.
