Love and Marriage, Karakalpak-style
Murojon-khoji Abdiev, a representative of the official Muslim body for Karakalpakstan, is critical of bride-stealing, which is not sanctioned by Islam.
Dare I hope?
He explained, "People are committing a great sin when they steal a girl,
Yes! YES! WOO-HOO!
because after the kidnapping the couple lives for some time without the ‘nikoh’ or sharia blessing."
DOH!!
"Hey! Youse can't do dat! You ain't got no license!"
"Piss off! Can'tcha see we're busy?"
