      The Kyrgyz have one very strange marriage custom, bride kidnapping. This tradition consists of a groom and his friends abducting a potential wife and then taking her back to his home by force where she is persuaded by his female relatives to marry him. They do this by putting the traditional wedding headscarf on her head. If the bride consents to this, she consents to the marriage. This custom is still very common despite it being illegal and although some people believe bride kidnapping is just part of Kyrgyz culture, most consider that it violates human rights.
