Video - Kazakhstan "Stealing the Bride", Tribal custom or Kidnapping? (NYPost).

Forcibly seizing a woman and marrying her is very common in Kazakhstan, according to CEN.

The shocking deed was jokingly made famous by Sacha Baron Cohen in his 2006 hit, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” In the movie, Borat kidnaps Pamela Anderson because he wants to marry her — a scene which is meant to be ridiculous and funny, but is also very accurate and startling.

In reality, an anxious groom will pay relatives and friends to use deception, cohesion or force to physically take a girl and bring her to his home.

Once she arrives, the girls in his family will dress the kidnapped bride in a special neckerchief called an Oramal — something Kazakh women must accept to show their “consent” to marriage. Hmmm.....Marriage kidnappings happen also in Egypt , India.... etc but usually They captue Non Muslim Brides. Read the full story here.
