BRIDE KIDNAPPING documents in harrowing detail four such abductions, from the violent seizures on city streets and the tearful protests of the women, who are physically restrained and persuaded to accept their fate by the women of the groom's family, to the often tense negotiations between the respective families, and either the eventual acquiescence or continued refusal of the young women.
I don’t just say shit. I mean, I do talk a lot of shit, but I generally mean what I say and I say what I mean. YA DIG?

Ancient tradition gone to far?
When a Kyrgyz man decides to marry, he often abducts the woman he has
chosen. Typically, he and several friends hire a car, stake out his
bride-to-be's movements, snatch her off the street, and take her to the
groom's family home. A delegation is then sent to her family. The
abducted woman is held until someone from her family arrives to
determine whether they will accept the "proposal" and she will agree to
marry her kidnapper.
