  • Every spring, the town of Stara Zagora in central Bulgaria hosts a controversial bride market where young virgins are paraded in front of suitors who bid on them. The market is the biggest annual get-together for Bulgaria’s 18,000-strong Kalaidzhi Roma clan, a subgroup of the Roma people who face constant prejudice and exclusion across Europe. Unable to live off their ancient coppersmith heritage, the constantly sensationalised bride markets are one of the last surviving Kalaidzhi traditions. ​T​o find out why these​ medieval-sounding​ markets exist ​in modern Europe, ​and how Kalaidzhi girls feel about being sold off​, Broadly correspondent Milène Larsson travels to ​the village of Orizovo ​​to spend time with a family with two daughters as they're preparing for the annual ​bride market.

      Sad thing is, the people they are talking about are IN bulgaria but are not Bulgarians also known as Jipsy, the people you see in the video are Jipsy and have nothing in common with bulgarians, they have just grown up in that country and selling their children is their cultores way of market, we don't like most of the either... sadly they are the onces that go out of bulgaria to work abroad and tell everyone they are bulgarian....

    As a Bulgarian myself seeing this truly hurts. Seeing these beautiful young woman being sold in the gypsy community is so unfair. The lack of government control lead to this result. They’re ruining their lives at a young age without having a voice. These gypsy traditions leads to uneducated generations, low income and tension between the Bulgarians and gypsy communities.

      @davidsimeonov Před rokem +6

      @@contgoogle181 I completely agree about this generation. It is truly hard to find a good partner these days. But still these people are not objects to be sold. They have to have the choice to choose who they marry. You can see in the video these girls being in love with someone and being sold to some guy which who knows what kind of person he could be. And just because they’re virgins doesn’t mean that they won’t turn into “whores”. The fact that they marry someone who they don’t love will eventually result to cheating or deep depression. What about their kids? What kind of environment will they grow up in? And unlike them who won’t marry someone they love, you can. And you can look for the kind of girl you want.

    Video at 0:45 mentions Kalaitchi tribe of gypsy people. The word 'Kalai" in Sanskrit means coating of Tin on brass or copper vessels. Maybe the forefathers of these gypsy people who originated from India did this particular work as profession.
    The art of kalai (kalhai or qalai) is the process of coating an alloy surface such as copper or brass by deposition of metal tin on it.[1] The word "kalai" is derived from Sanskrit word kalya lepa, which means "white wash or tin". "kalaya-lepa" in the chapter of cookery or "supashashtra" which means applying kalai on utensils. People practicing the art of kalai are called Kalaiwala or Kalaigar.[3] Basically, Kalaigars or Kalaiwalas are community craftsmen.

"Human rights " is a western construct that tries to apply western values everywhere. If you want to understand the world better try to keep an open mind. They are not executing people here. They have arranged marriages. It's very much a tribal practice for them.

    If you ask your average 16-year-old girl what she finds as desirable traits for a boyfriend, I suspect he would get considerably different answers than you would if you asked a 35-year-old woman what she finds as attractive or desirable traits in a husband. Also. If marriage is something like leasing a car; that is when you get tired of it, you get rid of that one and just get another one. That is going to set some criteria. If, however, marriage is a union of two individuals to be bonded together as one flesh and remain faithful and true to each other and each other ONLY; and both people presume the relationship is to last until death separates them, that would sets higher standards on the criterion of choice, wouldn’t it? The standard, biblical rendering of what are commonly called “wedding vows“, are very, very, serious words… Serious promises about very grave matters, AND - spoken while looking directly into the eyes of one’s significant other, prompted by one who fully comprehends the gravity of the words being spoken, in front of what perhaps is the largest and most unique collection of BOTH persons’ seperate friends and family, and most importantly, before God, qualifying it has a sacred oath.

    The thing that makes this seem so much like a "market" instead of a regular tradition is the constant mention of money. If you have to worry about how much you "cost" then you inevitably start seeing yourself as a product. Almost every tradition in Africa requires you to pay a bride price but importance is not placed on the amount or monetary value of the bride. In fact, in my culture, the amount is usually kept a secret amongst the men and older women in the family and the bride won't even know how much the bride price was because it doesn't matter.

We have this tradition all over the world for a reason. It worked for thousand of years and it works for these Roma people till today. I did not see that these girls were unhappy. In fact this market had an atmosphere of a party to it. Also boys have to work hard to earn money for the bride and it teaches them the value of money and hard work, something a lot of young people do not understand.

They also have external genitals easy to keep in proper hygiene. Women on the other hand carry theirs inside and every time they sleep with a random man they acquire all sorts of bacteria and they carry them around. Thus it is safer for a man to marry a virgin woman and for the woman not to sleep around and carry shit from casual encounters. Pure biology. Also promiscuous women have trouble pair-bonding, a well established fact. Mother Nature did not mean for them to sleep around. Btw, my wife was a virgin when we met and she was in her mid-twenties and she was neither unhappy about it nor ashamed of it. And she is not Roma.

      The funny thing is yes lots of men will walk away if you are not jumping into bed with them because women think it is liberating to have easy casual sex and have trained men to expect that, nonetheless a man worth having will respect a woman who does not jump into bed with him far more than the one who just opens her legs.
      How many women lose their children after a break up and ordered to pay child support and leave the family? Very very few.
      Woman do not get paid less than men for doing the same job to the same standard or let's face it why hire men? Why would it be hard to get the job as a woman if you are a cheaper option, business is about making money.
      Where are the quotas for men to get the job rather than the best candidate... That only exists for women or certain minorities not for just for being a man.
      The dangerous jobs you think men are no longer doing lol are still being done by men, so are the nasty jobs and exceptionally few woman can be found in the dirtiest, hardest and most dangerous jobs.... And silence from the femenists on quotas for any of these roles.
      Women are often too busy trying to build carrers and or out partying and having flings, casual sex and short term fun than they are with creating a family.
      Women scream for equality only when it is in their favour.
      Women want to have their cake and eat it.
      Women buy into the impossible dream of having it all.
      Modern women make crap wives and crap mothers, they are entitled and selfish.
      I am so happy to be old fashioned enough to navigate this materialistic, narcasistic, soul destroying times that has no focus on family.

      She genuinely believes she's doing what's best for her girls. No matter how primitive or tacky it might seem to you, this woman loves her daughters and the daughters seem happy and excited 💁‍♀️

    I would not call a 25yo and a 19yo too young for marriage. In fact, in many cultures, 25yo would be considered somewhat old.

      I wont call even 16 or 17 too young for marriage, because girls at 15-16 finish puberty so they are biologically read for marriage
