Bride stealing continues in the Transcaucasus
[Regnum.ru] "Moparuli", in translation from Georgian, means stolen. More than a hundred years in the Caucasus, there is a tradition when a man steals his bride. Sometimes it is an attempt of a couple in love to go against the will of parents, sometimes it happens by mutual agreement of the relatives of both sides, and there are cases when a girl is stolen without the consent of the parents and without the consent of the bride herself. It turns out that the cases when women are stealing from an absolutely unknown person without warning is not small at all. The rumor that you were stolen, spreads over the village instantly, and the reputation of the girl is considered irretrievably lost. Parents worry that the daughter will never be able to marry again, and try to persuade her to stay with the kidnapper in order to save the chance to create a family and protect herself from bad rumors.
