The most bothering thing that bothers me is kidnapping of women. As everybody knows Kyrgyzstan is very popular of women kidnapping. It is too scary when you are kidnapped, moreover, by unfamiliar one. I can’t imagine how can I live with someone who I’ve never seen.
For example, my one friend was kidnapped She has never seen him before. But because of the tradition she agreed and stayed with him. But now she is so unhappy and can do nothing. She has her child and only for him she puts up with that way of life. I always say her to go away from her husband but she says that there is nowhere to go and that she loves her child.
As for me I am so afraid of being kidnapped. And I want the government to do something to solve this problem. It is ok that that is our tradition but people should not suffer because of it. We live only one time, that’s why we should live the way we want. Yes, We should keep our tradition but in this case I can’t agree with it. I think finally, that the government should issue a law about forbidding to kidnap. Otherwise kidnappers should be punished.

Hi,
I live in the UK. This week (Wednesday 6th June), there will be a program on UK Television called 'Bride Kidnapping of Kyrgyzstan'. This program will hihglight what is going on in your country.
Traditions are strong, but traditions arise out of what is acceptable. If a society considers something 'unnacceptable' things generally change.
Do not give up hope, and do not live in fear.

Just because something is traditional does not make it right. i have just watched a programme on bride kidnapping and seen the terror as these girls were taken. It takes a strong minded girl to refuse to be bullied into a marriage. The more girls resist the sooner the tradition will stop
Dears, so called bride kidnapping is so dramatised by mainly foreign pals living and working in KG. I do not agree that bride kidnapping takes place all over in KG. I do not deny the very fact of kidnapping. But one should get wider scope onto the problem. There are ways of "arranging" bride kidnapping, and first and foremost, it is a crime - not tradition! In most cases it is parents and young ladies, who not wish any legal proceedings or persecution of perpetrators.
Whatever happens, stay calm.
Never fear standing up for your opinions - if you don't want to marry someone, nobody can force you to.
You'll be fine!

I think, such things as bride kidnapping should not be considered as something traditional and normal since force is being used against one's will. as a result of it hundreds of women suffer and not only them, their husbands as well when it get anoying!
Hi, I volunteer for a small charity organisation (Restless Beings) based in the UK. Part of our project is looking into bride kidnapping. We will be travelling to Kyrgyzstan in April and require some assistance. If you are able to help please get in contact on: research.zakirah@restlessbeings.org
Traditions that take away a person's rights to freely choice how they will live their lives are meant to be broken.
