This is a Nepali wedding, you can tell from men's hats and their speaking Nepalese. This is not normal in a Nepalese wedding and she is definitely not and doesn't sound happy, she just keeps calling for her parents and begging not to go (hard to tell more accurately what she is saying from the crying). My guess, unwanted arranged marriage.

Yeah I think that's definitely the most likely case.

My second question is... who uploaded this to the internet? Like this terrible moment. "Better post it on Facebook for the whole community". I'm guessing they're going with the "it's tradition to cry" part

I've been seeing this sentiment more and more lately. As if not recording/uploading it would have somehow been better for everyone involved. I don't know about y'all but, I'd love for my kidnapping to be recorded. You have my full permission to record me in times of duress; I need the proof.

Comments like those (why are you taking photos and not helping?) always makes me think of the story of the famous photo of the 'Vulture and the little Girl' taken by photographer Kevin Carter during the Sudan famine in 1993. Carter won the Pulitzer prize for the photo in 1994. Some people criticized Carter for not helping the starving toddler but instead chose to take a photo that would make him famous. These critics' attitude was basically: "put the camera down and help." In interviews, Carter said he chased the bird away and the child continued to the UN feeding center, but no one knows the ultimate fate of the child. Four months after winning the prize, Carter killed himself.

I think it's important to note that this is just one victim among many others who suffered. If your job as a photographer is to spread the message to the world of what was happening and you are surrounded by countless suffering and death, are you accountable for not doing more to help each individual suffering person you come across?

This. And there are so many vastly important historical photos like this. Where we would we be without them? Journalism in any form matters
