sometimes when i hear some guy calling her i ask why is he calling do you two young for that classmates call them they should only call in the afternoon i have to he studied in the same school as her so many in our district know him and are somewhat afraid of him because he is the champion of kurdistan. in fighting off admirers. yes and fighting off admirers. the two friends are planning to travel around the country. this tradition as many tragedies. understand why the girls hung themselves like that. why hang themselves only because they felt ashamed. time works wonders. for example he could have died an early death and she would have got everything he had.

almost a third of all married women in the country were kidnapped by their husbands for instance in the family the brides have always been kidnapped they simply consider it a tradition as custom dictates the youngest son must live with his parents his wife is obliged to do all the household chores cleaning cooking and gardening she must also take care of her. mother in law has to do babysit her grandchildren and this continues until the girl's own child grows up and takes his wife into the house and repeats the cycle the custom has existed for centuries kidnapped girls eventually learn to live with their husbands and even become grateful for having been chosen. to drive a tractor and you know work in the field and. she was you know so far in his blood and he. that was the case wasn't. yes that's true she was beautiful and. dragged her into my tractor like me.

of course. otherwise i wouldn't have given birth to eleven children you know could happen if i didn't. kidnap his wife from a music school because he himself likes to play the guitar and sing after they were met. he and his wife sometimes organized concerts at different family occasions but now they've given that up they say they have so many chills that there isn't time for singing songs. that i used to live with a student then my room with in da you went to sleep on. the door open up it's the police documents as we open the door some seven right guys surrounded me. they grabbed me and brought me here my husband turned out to be bad i would probably leave him but as a mother is a good husband. however in the district where the science live there have been

three suicides. regularly put on theatrical productions this play discusses how brides are often kidnapped a girl is taken to a future husband's home where she's surrounded by his relatives who try to put a white scarf on her head the symbol of marriage doctors teachers and lawyers are among the most sought after brides in kyrgyzstan when you start speaking here. let's say that the girl is not graduated yet she has graduated let's say she's in her final year she won't be allowed to work afterwards she is not graduated yet and the story becomes even sadder because she has studied for four years for nothing.

according to the caregivers women's help center every year sees around sixteen thousand brides kidnapped that means that every forty minutes another girl is abducted. however the kidnappers themselves are really taken to court for their crimes. five hundred and ninety six. that's how many reports that police received in two thousand and nine concerning a theft of private property. the crime of to that only a woman just one. girl's interest earned can't abandon their unloved husbands they fear not only the condemnation of their neighbors but also being cursed the husband's grandmother may live on the floor and ask are you ready to defy old age it's believed that if a girl dares do so she'll be miserable all of the life.

of those mother still can't forgive herself for having a baby old woman and not helping her daughter to escape she and her parents felt too intimidated by tradition. as she said that with to her away both of us will suffer a lot she said she was going to cross us and my mom said that we could not disobey the woman as she was so old. she told us not to step over her. and we left. and so the girl stayed a week later she slashed her own wrists and tried to overdose doctors managed to save her life but the experience left dr goli a disabled at the age of thirty eight she still lives with her mother and i don't have children i even don't have a husband but i want to have children and a husband. not a bucket of us from the open line foundation has come to visit the organization

looks into bright kidnapping across the country including old cases the practice has always been an issue but has never been discussed openly. with the bios where you simply afraid they wouldn't be accepted at home. and then they would talk about me if i left. is that somehow if they try is than death. of course seriously. putting at that time yes it was even scarier i didn't want people to talk about me saying that all i'd be kidnapped but that i didn't want to live with the man who kidnapped me. everyone believes that if you're kidnapped you have to just agree to it those of us. they can't help wondering why they value themselves so poorly because we had just one case when they go over an old woman and say excuse me old woman but this is my

life and i won't let anyone manipulate me. not every care of his family has a sad story of kidnapping to tell. which i was turning eighteen when i met her in the spring i was conscripted into the army. the people i returned to discover that they kidnapped her the day before i got back. at the site. there are some traditions that i like and there are some that i don't like at all i don't understand some of them. when i was about to get married well we're not supposed to talk about our intentions openly so i put it bluntly that i love their daughter and wanted to marry her i asked them if they would let me and then there was a long pause and i realized i was too open but then everyone smiled diplomatically

and asked who wanted to have some peel off. the back of. the two friends have many stories but now continue their journey to explore why those who have ruined other people's lives do not receive proper punishment. culture is the same i am going to each visit israel during my mark let. me know it's only getting worse as my name is applied to. mention restore order take on this. to me speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic

paid in cotton oil that's why most of the workforce gets to russia kazakhstan or other foreign countries to seek employment most of the money they earn is spent on wedding ceremonies. carlos. lopez another load. gerges wedding brings together around a thousand people on average guests arrive throughout the day the closest relatives economical sending messages a couple of days before the actual ceremony. wining and dining the guests traditionally after the wedding ceremony they're given delicacies to take home a single wedding ceremony requires about fifteen to horses forty kilos of and at least a thousand traditional flat bread loaves. there are two butchers here specifically

what parts should be served. through them this is my motto and he is taking care of the. four. of spent a whole year in russia sweeping the streets to save money for his son's wedding he paid the bride's relatives the equivalent of some two thousand five hundred dollars he also paid for gifts and other treats. by working as a taxi driver in the russian city of novosibirsk. much more money than he could his native village. for young people and. could afford to rent a limousine with the money he. the country where he met his future wife. after only a couple of dates. the bridegroom's friends like to tease him by calling his

bride. a reference to how work as a cleaner in a car showroom where they say it was like a hockey stick. he and his friends forced their way into the bride's house and. the elders disapproved insisting that the kid no tradition had not been upheld. grandfather. does nothing like a simply elder. one of the most. if tradition is that of presenting gifts at a wedding ceremony each guest is supposed to bring a traditional hat. for the lady. the gifts can be put to any practical use. vacuum cleaners nothing but. we are going to keep all that in the chest when you. turn away the gifts presented to

spent on wedding ceremonies the bride price in. five of the limit for any wedding and no horses are allowed to be killed for the occasion so there are no penalties for offenders. i firmly believe that people shouldn't go to the registry office in. an ordinary mercedes the simpler car will do. you predictably not all the old timers share my view point. some of them were comfortable in the situation that existed until now they would drop in on a wedding or grab a kilo of meat and four or five loaves and go back home so i told them they could eat as much as they liked on such occasions but i ask them not to take any food away common folk see me as a reformer but some elders and wealthy people regard me as a nasty miser. human rights campaigners of trying to fight kidnapping by referring to the criminal code the penalty for kidnapping can be up

to fifteen years. protect property strongly that a woman's freedom. is a conflict of legal terms people representing line for somebody have even addressed drown table discussion not to say that this article should be excluded from the. code and offenders should be charged under the can nothing article but usually the men there disagree with this. operation as a royal brides are captured or shall i say stolen by several young men sometimes friends of the groom family members and even worse clerics. they are respected people. even they make it clear that bride kidnapping conflicts with these lamblike law. captors relatives and friends go unpunished and so they feel free to adopt another young woman young girls who run

away find themselves in a more difficult situation the fact is that if a young woman spends even one night in someone else's house she's considered tainted and will never be able to marry. her and her baby has been staying at a crisis center for ten months she has nowhere else to go parents refuse to allow her back into their home campaigners at the open line movement make short films on the subject in this hero's little girl whose parents were always by his side to help her the same video that when she grows up she's abducted and decides to flee the abductors her parents are in two minds about her decision. i want to know why they refuse to. come home that's how we're trying to bring down. i want to persuade the young woman's parents to give the chance to make her own

decision. point out that abduction is a criminal offense but kidnappers given sri years in prison by contrast people who still. put behind bars for eleven years. and members of the hall and others even came out and said nice you can need to. get a live in here is for cattle rustling is a complete and utter far as was less and she. mind you they voted in favor of legislation against stealing sheep in the first reading. campaign is from open line take to the streets to tell young women what they should do with abducted not to be afraid of anything and to immediately go to the police. do you know want to do if

you're abducted do other goes no. i don't think they do because they stay on in many cases. do you know what is the right thing to do case you were abducted. we want to scream and shout let me go. we've heard a lot of different stories some of the more astounding simply because they are routine and somebody comes in kidnaps them that's the end of it you begin wondering whether such traditions are traditions at all. and his friend aziz have traveled around for two weeks during that time they have only come across one young woman who has defied tradition her name is. unlike others in the same situation she didn't cry but try to settle the matter with the

bridegroom parents. for this family it will be a disgrace if the bride leaves them but i told them let's not argue you just let me go and that will be it. the doctors were determined to persuade veneer or to stay with them but she refused to give in when she called her. he sent her brothers to bring her back. as soon as i saw them i tossed the scarf away. and then the guy showed up. with tears in his eyes he pleaded with me not to leave him. he said he loved me and so on and i told him then you should have said that to begin with. then your resume to studies of university and found employment but her parents still believe that leaving the family was wrong. they argue that veneer is no twenty four years old and past her prime standards. yes i

think that these traditions and stereotypes of ours are just terribly outdated. the two travelers were in for another surprise after that encounter the first man to be charged with abducting a bride who had been convicted in kurdistan. it's a great victory he was sentenced to six years in a medium security prison colony we hadn't expected anything like that would ever happen because article one fifty five of the criminal code is too liberal. the parents of one of the dead young women are sick and tired of gossiping neighbors a mother keeps the house doors shut and shoes passes by a way she blames herself for her daughter's death the bridegroom stole the restoring the night after phoning to lure her away from the house he took her to his village where she was raped. she was taken by force.

she didn't understand what was going on. she was the youngest daughter and she was a virgin. it still pains me here in my heart. when we came to take our daughter away. i felt. somehow. was persuaded to flee by her sister after returning home talked with her mother throughout the night she spoke of her plans saying she wanted to go to. but in the morning she hanged herself in a shared. criminal was convicted on three counts abduction rape and forced suicide but people in his native village feel justice was not done they say the girl died after being separated from the man she loved.

would like to know what the bridegroom thinks about it all but so far he's not been allowed to see the kidnapper has launched an appeal and the chances are he may be set free. the final chapter in his book. to be written. what will change when america picks its president made muslim rage. pushing china and russia. spreads to parties still dictate. this election close every day to the fifth marks he. was able to build. anything.

to teach me. this is why you should care only. for. the way our economic system. is not.
