I watched that a while ago, It isn't sad, It's horrifying.

They steal women, And hold them hostage until they agree to the marriage. The word 'No' doesn't even come into the equation. It's just.. awful and wrong.

I think I remember the woman was screaming and crying and begging them to let her go, And the guys were all just 'It's happy tears, Don't worry you're getting married, You'll be happy' Just really messed up stuff like that.

Such barbarism and savagery is strangely prevalent in some parts of the world; whole cultures seemingly devoid of any sense of conscience or humanity.

Where are the bride's family militia?

Where are the bride's family militia?

Perhaps she disgraced them by allowing herself to be kidnapped,
so they disowned her, eh?

Stuff like this debunks the notion of cultural relativism IMO.

Gotta love VICE journalism on this type of stuff regardless, though.
