Hey guy, feeling a little lonely? Finding it tough to meet the ladies? Well, here’s an idea: move to central Asia where it’s totally cool to kidnap chicks you like. As this horrifying video shows, horny Kyrgyzstani dudes drive around town, stalking the streets for girls to snatch. When they spot one they fancy, they bundle her – kicking and screaming – into the backseat of a car and speed off. Girls are held against their will for weeks until they cave in to constant marriage requests or, if they refuse to give it up, negotiate a release. Even though bride kidnapping was outlawed during the Soviet era, it remains a custom integral to Kyrgyzstani culture. In rural areas one in three marriages are still initiated by abduction. So, yeah, if you don’t want to woo, bag yourself a bride in Bishkek.
