A kidnapped girl is seen screaming and crying in a new video as she is being dragged off to the home of her future husband in Kazakhstan.
The disturbing video (titled Stealing the Bride) was shot in the central Asian nation – where bride kidnapping is an ancient custom – accounting for nearly half of all marriages in some parts of the country.
As his neighbours and family celebrate in the central Akmola Region of the country, the young girl sits in the back of the car crying and pleading to be taken home. She is then dragged out of the car and over a special bridal carpet while guests throw confetti over the reluctant bride-to-be.
