The basic foundation of marriage should be love and trust.. I found it really weird and sad at the same time. so men out there, believe me, if you have good self quality and confidence, you don't have to kidnap a girl to be your wife. well, the girl seems so happy in the end after the kidnaping anyway.
???? What the heck?!
This is a crime

Have you tried proposing? No, wait, she could say no and then you would have to live with the shame of rejection. Better not act like a grown man and simply force her. Then you'll be a truly happy couple!
Tradition sucks. They are living in an OLD world.
"Hey, dad, how did you marry mom?"
"Well, son, it all started when I kidnapped her, with a bunch of my friends, threw her in the car and drove her to my relatives to force her to wear a white cloth on her head."
If this weren’t so tragic it would be comical
What’s this commentator going to do to help this girl? He just said it was an extremely troubling institution!
😕 That "kidnapped" girl was laughing and smiling when she first saw who was in the car… She knew her "kidnappers", which are her boyfriend and his friends/family, she knew she was going to marry the boy… The only thing I see as kidnapped was her right to pick the wedding date.
Wait so director of the movie subliminal say that divorce,orphans and gay are more bed then kidnapping and cus of the west they have it already hahah
Anyone k ow the song was played awhile the guys driving to water hole
8:44 = mommy is weeping over her daughter's suicide, yet she and her family "gave her child back" to the kidnapper's family? Come on! What a warped way of thinking. If they think at all.
if only dat was me getting kidnapped whow !!!!!!!
Blinking fast is one of the tells that someone is lying 26:55. She said she agreed to this marriage, and the lie just burst out of her eyes. Because a girl who is not a virgin is garbage in this culture, and that is used to enforce bride abduction by these kidnappers, she just had no choice. Unless she wanted to live as a pariah for the rest of her days. Her misery is so hard to witness.
for everyone who thinks it is staged.
it is not
it is a real issue
man i wish i could kidnap jessica alba
