The actions taken by the husband in the bride kidnapping vided evidence that a Rape or nontraditiona

There is absolutely no evidence in the video to prove your claim that the culture of the Kyrgyzstan people stops the spread of Sexually Transmitted diseases nor make them homosexuals. Only one person claimed that it's what the west has to offer. (6:08) It is very difficult to for a female in Kyrgyzstan to say no. As you said in your argument that sometimes no means yes, however there are also times where no means no. If someone holds a gun to your head ask you "should I shoot." Would you think that no means yes.. I think not. To think that no means yes one can also say that yes means no. In the video the girl did indeed go to her mother to complain about the husband's ill treatment and you said that she should have been there supporting her but I am a firm believer of the term "prevention is better than cure". Being taught that one day a man whom you may or may not know will walk up to you and snatch you and take you away to become his wife and or treated like a sex slave and servant. This sounds very similar to that of the prehistoric male acquiring his mate. I am struggling with what you say that "the more you cry the happier you'll be" . Crying for hours and sometimes days is by no means happiness. Consensual sex..ha ha that's a joke the woman is just giving in to her capturer because there is simply no recourse for the act. You say that no one wants a desperate woman but you forgot to mention that no woman wants a desperate abusive violent husband. From a male prospective there is nothing worse than exhibiting desperation in obtaining a bride. I know you may be tempted to say that the man kidnaps his bride as a show of strength and courage but in the video he was the one that was nervous and also had to acquire the help of his friends. As you so often mentioned, women are trained into expecting and accepting their capture and forced into marriage for one reason or another like having children all living under one roof but you missed the point that divorce rates are higher in kidnap marriages. (6:45) also you fail to realize that there is not just one law but actually two laws in Kyrgyzstan. (3:00) Regardless of what you think about whether or not their custom is better than that of the west or if they believe what they are doing a good thing it still does not justify rape. You say that these women deserve an Oscar for acting, but unfortunately the situation is very real and Hollywood has no bearing or input in what these young women are going through. Life in General has long evolved so too should man. Man must never go around to a female whom he claims he loves and wants to make happy by grabbing her and taking her away against her will whether or not they are trained to expect it then bribe her relatives to in a feeble attempt to gain acceptance and approval of the marriage. Is it really ok to stay out of other people's business to sit idlely by and watch a fellow female like yourself to be subjected to such humiliation and pain I think not. Should these men be allowed to continue to commit these acts I think not. Should the pain and suffering of these women go on forever I think not . Should you continue to believe that these women experience smallest level of love and happiness ... I THINK NOT.
