Ugh. Nasty. Who knows what kind of man would pick you up, and what kind of family he is from. Disgusting. Shame on anyone for thinking that this is acceptable.

I am Kyrgyz, I have observed, heard and experienced this or that kind of bride kidnapping. But one thing makes me wonder: There are many families who are happily married for many years and till the end of their lives. Unlike many Western and marriage by love, this marriage seems stable. I maybe wrong, this is just what i feel now

Anonymous – it’s true that wives should be in submission to their husbands. However, just their husbands. The guy doing the kidnapping wouldn’t be her husband yet.

Besides that, it’s just not nice.

Well maybe he is kidnapping her, BECAUSE he loves her. I’m sure that in time she will learn to love him.

Here is what is fundamentally wrong with this.

The Bible admonishes husbands to love their wives AS THEMSELVES.

Any man who would kidnap a woman and force her to marry himself against her will is CLEARLY NOT DOING SO OUT OF LOVE. He is doing so out of selfishness and probably lust.

I sincerely hope you are kidding. I think you can make a very strong argument that this method is unbiblical, but I’ll let others deal with that (I do not have the time to look up the Bible passages that speak of fathers giving away their daughters in marriage to an appropiate suiter).

“Personally, I think this is the best way to get a girl. If they don’t like it, it’s not our fault.”

Once again, I sincerely hope you are kidding. This is without a doubt the WORST way to “get” a girl, simply because the girl will be miserable and unhappy. But perhaps men should disregard the Bible’s admonishment and not give a hoot about the feelings of the opposite sex, as you seem to do.

If I decide I want to throw you in prison just because I feel like it, even though you have committed no crime, it’s not my fault if you don’t like it. Why complain?

“They are in submission to men, so if we want to get a girl in this way, than we can.”

The Bible says that wives should be submissive to their husbands. The Bible doesn’t say men can treat women like cattle or objects to be stolen with or bartered.

“There is absolutely nothing . . . wrong in any way with this method.”

This “method” isn’t even valid marriage, it’s essentially rape.
