Every spring, the country’s 18,000-person Kalaidzhi Roma clan gathers in Stara Zagora for the controversial “bride market” where young virgins are paraded in front of suitors who bid on them.

I guess, if I would be on such a market to pick a girl, I would take the women that wears the least make-up and offers intelligent conversation. Thats what I love about my girlfriend : )
They all look GORGEOUS omg
Gypsies are the fucking worst , you can’t help these people. Period.
These girls despite having little education can see there’s a World out there where’s there’s more to life then being sold to the highest bidder so their parents can live comfortably. Their parents don’t realise if they paid for their daughters to be better educated and spend less money on clothes that their careers in the EU could mean they could travel and earn a hundred times or more than being sold for their virginity and house work. They could even afford maids and a better life style despite being born “poor”. Ignorance is a high price to pay to perpetuate the circle of poverty because they will in turn have many children being married off so young and the next generation will have less than the modern generation they view on the net. All the interbreeding is not healthy either and many offspring will be born with mental health problems or physical limitations as a result of marrying extended family members which are cousins or uncles. If that what makes them happy then good for them but the older women don’t look so happy once the reality and drudgery of raising a large family with little means and overcrowded accommodation as their old fashioned values are preserved. Virginity lasts a day, poverty a lifetime for most of these women. They are quite capable on contributing and living a life fulfilled then being bred for “the marriage market” to serve their husbands who don’t all look like virgins like their brides! Equality is an unknown concept it seems in the rural areas of many Countries Worldwide … just surprised this happens in Europe!
I was having a hard time deciding where to retire. Overcoming hypergamy through auctions is an amazing concept and I'm looking forward to all the options available to me for finding a spouse that isn't available in North America.
1:24 i thought the turkey was talking
Някой политик няма ли да обещае да махне пазара за булки? Аз лично се чувствам отвратена от това което видях на клипчето! В 21-ви век да се съгласяват родители на това да продават децата си. Безобразие! Проститутки по семейна линия, така ли да го разбирам?
hippity hoppity women are property
If it’s ok by the bride and her family then I don’t see anything wrong with it ,their body belong to themselves so why should society dictate them what is ok and what is not..You may thing it’s absurd but if you look closely almost every men buys his bride in one way or another ,it’s traditionally the men who pay for all the expenses..
Why does he keep punching himself in the forehead
The Roma people have such a beautiful culture.
🤢 trash
Mom “this is what I bought from he internet” LOL it must suck to be poor ugh. Can’t relate . Maybe that’s a good thing, as I don’t need to stoop so low morally and be illiterate; uneducated and have zero free will. These poor women deserve so much better it’s abhorrent.
Okay call me a horrible person but this looks like a lot of fun that's how you keep a society and civilization pure and a live
As ridiculous as you think this is our may think this is you got to look at it from the other side they have respect for where they come from and their people and I believe in the west we've completely lost that with the individual BS
Hahaha oh boy the #METOO movement just sit there pants lol
Honestly its not that different to the west a womans worth is a covert thing. How beautiful she is, How educated she is, How respectable her family is. This is just an overt culture of what happens everywhere its the way the world works its sad but thats just the way it is. We place so much emphasis on love in the west but the reality is were doing the exact same things and a lot of people will turn their back on love for something subtable and grow to have feelings for that person. Im pretty bad at doing that myself id rather find something real I suppose I always let my heart win rather than playing by the rules of the game.
Having a family is the greatest joy in a woman's life. We should be supporting this kind of traditional, not berating it.
“How much are you worth?” kissy sounds
Look, I mean no disrespect anyone’s culture, but fuck no.
This is exactly why I'm grateful I'm born and raised American. I pray for the women and children even men who struggle across the globe everyday.
Interestingly, Roma girls dress extremely provocatively….but they’re extremely conservative when it comes to actual sex. Very much look but don’t touch.
Are those gypsies?
This is literally disgusting, it’s pretty much a human meat market, and the prices are roughly twice as much in US dollars, as it is for cattle……… It’s roughly between 2-$2.5 K USD for fully grown cow and between 4-6 K USD for bride, in Europe…. And the lefty presenter compares that to modern speed dating when money is changing hands….. Modern feminism people……. All cultures are completely equal…..
This is a relic from the dark ages of our world when societies viewed women as property. Unfortunately for these women, their dark ages are still ongoing. Women never are and never have been property, we have just been treated like it. It is immoral of these parents to give their daughters no options. Immoral.
If a guy asked me how much i would say I am priceless just like these girls
